::"This...is EXTREEEEEME!" The ECW theme music blares throughout the arena is Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. The voice of ECW, Joey Styles, makes his way to the ring along with Chase Cassidy to a chorus of "E-C-DUB! E-C-DUB!" chants::
Joey Styles: Hello...and welcome to...EXTREME CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING!! I'm Joey Styles, and this is...

Chase Cassidy: I am YOUR HOST, the one and only, the wonderfully brilliant, the stunningly handsome, the commentator of commentators, the man with the best personality EVER...CHASE CASSIDY! YEAH! WOO! YEEHAW! RAAR! oW oW! OH YEAH!
::Styles grabs the microphone back from Cassidy, muffling his screaming a little::
Joey Styles: Tonight, we're starting the show with a match in the Intercontinental Title Tournament! Thanks for joining us, and ENJOY THE SHOW!!
::Joey Styles and Chase Cassidy head over to the announcing position, far away from the ring as "Nitro" by the Offspring hits the speakers. The fans go crazy for Stevie Richards!::
Joey Styles: These fans are really behind Stevie Richards!
Chase Cassidy: Once again, this proves my point that the fans know absolutely NOTHING!
Joey Styles: I suppose you should tell them what they think, right?
Chase Cassidy: Exactly Joe!
Joey Styles: Oh, we're back to Joe now are we? In any case, Stevie's opponent is making his debut match here in ECW...
Chase Cassidy: WHO!?
::"WHO'S BETTA THAN KANYON!?" Kanyon runs out onto the stage and poses. He gets a pretty mixed reaction from the crowd as he goes to the ring::
Chase Cassidy: WHO'S BETTER THAN KANYON!?
Joey Styles: *sigh*
Chase Cassidy: Are you huffing and puffing at me Joe!? HUH!? Are you!? Don't make me come over there!
Joey Styles: Just call the match would you?
::Stevie throws a punch at Kanyon, but it's blocked. He tries again, Kanyon blocks it again and follows up with one of his own. He sends Richards off the ropes and kicks him in the stomach making him hunch over. Kanyon bounces himself off the ropes and slams his elbow into the back of Stevie's head. Richards scrambles to his feet and Kanyon back him into a corner. He hits a few chops, then picks Richards up and puts him on the top rope. He climbs up in front of Richards and throws him with a fallaway slam from the second turnbuckle! 1...2...Stevie Richards kicks out! Kanyon goes for a northern lights suplex, but Richards reverses it into a DDT! He motions for Kanyon to get up, then clotheslines him down! He taunts Kanyon to get up and knocks him down with another clothesline, the fans rallying behind him. Stevie goes for the Stevie Kick, but Kanyon ducks. He lifts Richards up onto his shoulders from behind and drops him with a reverse death valley driver!::
Joey Styles: Stevie Kick missed!
Chase Cassidy: What a followup by Kanyon with that reverse DVD!
Joey Styles: This could be it as Kanyon makes the cover!
Chase Cassidy: ONE! TWO!
Joey Styles: NO! Stevie Richards kicks out! He kicks out!
::Kanyon can’t believe it. He pulls Richards to his feet and hits him with a few right hands. He backs him into the ropes and bounces him off. Richards comes running back and Kanyon knees him in the abdominal region. He goes for the flatliner, but Richards pushes him off. Kanyon bounces off the ropes and BAM! Richards nails the Stevie Kick! 1...2...3!::
Joey Styles: I can’t believe it! Stevie Richards pulls it out of nowhere with the Stevie Kick! Amazing!
Chase Cassidy: Pish posh Joseph. He’s just lucky is all...
Joey Styles: Either way, Stevie Richards advances into the finals of the Intercontinental Title Tournament! He’ll fight for the title at ECW’s first pay per view extravaganza, Barely Legal!
Chase Cassidy: There’s no way in hell that Stevie Richards will walk out of there with the Intercontinental Title. NO WAY! He might as well not even show up. You know, spare himself the humiliation.
Joey Styles: If you say so...
::The Office of the Office...Cyrus is sitting his desk scratching things off on a piece of paper on his clipboard. Kevin Nash walks in, slightly making Cyrus jump::
Cyrus: Big Kev!
Kevin Nash: We need to talk Cyrus.
::Cyrus looks a little worried::
Cyrus: A-About...what exactly?
Kevin Nash: I was thinking...
::Cyrus nods approvingly::
Kevin Nash: Well you see, with all due respect, you didn’t enter me in the ECW Title Tournament. You went out of your way to make sure that Rhino was in it, but I’m not in it and I want to know why.
Cyrus: Uh...well...you know...
Kevin Nash: And I want to know NOW!
Cyrus: Oh well you see, this is what I was figuring. Don’t tell Rhino about this because he might not be too happy. I didn’t put you in because why should you have to do all that work!? Go through all those men in the tournament and all, just for the title. I figured that after whoever won the tournament, you’d be the first to get a shot, and you’d win. That way you’d only have to beat up one wrestler. It’s good business, and it’s easier for you.
Kevin Nash: I see...
::Nash still looks angry::
Cyrus: Something wrong?
Kevin Nash: Oh no, you’re a smart man Cyrus. Always looking out for me...
Cyrus: I’m with the Office. I do what’s best for my associates like you Kevin.
Kevin Nash: So when do I get my shot?
Cyrus: Well, you know what you have to do before I’ll give it to you. Once you’ve gotten that taken care of, you can have your shot whenever you want after Barely Legal. It’s as simple as that.
::Nash nods and leaves the room::
Kevin Nash: *mumbling* It’s not that simple you twirp.
::"Playing God" by Reveille hits and the fans rise to their feet. The Unholy Trio of Yoshihiro Tajiri, Mikey Whipwreck, and the Sinister come out onto the stage to a huge ovation. They make their way to the ring, laughing all the way::
::"El Phantasmo and the Chicken Run Blast-O-Rama" by White Zombie blares through the speakers and the fans immediately begin to boo. The Impact Players, Justin Credible and Lance Storm, step through the curtains. A huge "You Suck!" chant breaks out as they argue with fans on their way to the ring::
Joey Styles: These fans really aren't fond of the Impact Players!
Chase Cassidy: That's because these fans are just like Vince McMahon and the WWF...they don't appreciate true talent!
Joey Styles: I believe good ol' J.R., Jim Ross runs the WWF now Chase...
Chase Cassidy: Oh yeah, same difference. *whispers* Cade reeks..
Joey Styles: What was that Chase?
Chase Cassidy: Oh nothing...
::Tajiri and Lance Storm lock up, starting the match off. Tajiri goes behind with a hammerlock, but Storm snapmares him over. Tajiri bounces Storm off the ropes. He goes for a dropkick, but Storm latches onto the ropes and Tajiri hits the mat hard. Storm grabs Tajiri by the legs and goes for a slingshot into the corner. Tajiri lands on the middle turnbuckle though, then turns around to face Storm. Storm turns around and Tajiri kicks him right in the temple from the second turnbuckle! Tajiri jumps off and rolls Storm up...1...2...Lance Storm kicks out. Both men get up and Tajiri goes for a brainbuster, but Storm drops down behind him.

Storm catches him though and plants him with a sitdown powerbomb. He pulls Tajiri away from Mikey in the corner, and tags in Justin Credible. Credible and Storm work over Tajiri with kicks until the referee forces Lance into his corner::
Joey Styles: Storm and Credible certainly are a great team. I can't take anything away from them when it comes to that. They're one of the best teams ECW has ever seen...one of the best teams the professional restling world has ever seen.
Chase Cassidy: They ARE the best Joseph, not just ONE of the best.
::Credible stomps on Tajiri and yells at him to get up. Everytime Tajiri actually tries to get up, Credible knocks him down again. Finally, Tajiri kicks Credible's feet out from under him. Both men get to their feet and Tajiri goes for a kick to Credible's head. Credible ducks and hooks Tajiri from behind, dropping him with a reverse ddt. 1...2...Tajiri kicks out! Justin Credible rolls to the outside. He brings a chair back in with him, but gave Tajiri enough time to tag in Mikey Whipwreck! Whipwreck nails a flying, spinning heel kick, kicking the chair into Credible's face! Credible falls back into his corner making the tag to Lance Storm. Storm goes to the top turnbuckle, but Mikey crotches him. Mikey climbs up looking for something, but Lance pushes him down to the mat. Once Mikey gets to his feet, Storm jumps off and nails a huge missile dropkick! 1...2...Mikey barely kicks out!

Credible gets out of the ring and the ref turns around. Storm covers Mikey...1...2...Mikey amazingly kicks out!::
Joey Styles: Oh my god! I can’t believe it!
Chase Cassidy: HOW DID HE DO THAT!?
Joey Styles: Mikey Whipwreck just kicked out of that spike piledriver! I can’t believe it!
::Chaos then takes over. Credible and Tajiri get in the ring. Credible attacks Mikey who is still on the mat. Tajiri pulls Lance Storm up and locks him in the tree of woe in the corner. He puts a chair in front of his face, then runs and baseball slides kicking the chair into Storm’s face! Tajiri turns around and Credible bulldogs him to the mat. Justin Credible gives to the "Suck It" sign to the crowd, making them boo him even more. The Sinister Minister gets up onto the ring apron distracting Credible. Tajiri and Whipwreck grab Credible from behind and hoist him into the air with a reverse suplex. They drop him down into a double Whipper Snapper! Mikey makes the cover and the referee counts...1...2...3!::
Joey Styles: Mikey Whipwreck and Yoshihiro Tajiri will wrestle for the Tag Team Titles at Barely Legal! What a match that was!
Chase Cassidy: This match should be erased from the record books! Credible wasn’t even the legal man! Tajiri and Whipwreck cheated!
Joey Styles: The referee counted to three and called for the bell. Tajiri and Whipwreck won, even if Credible wasn’t the legal man. I doubt the referee even realized it. Christian is standing by in the back...
Chase Cassidy: Woohoo!!
::Backstage...Christian’s Locker Room::
Christian: In two weeks the first new ECW Champion will be crowned at Barely Legal. As you all know the Diamond in the Rough, CHRISTIAN! CHRISTIAN! Is in that tournament! I know you’re all hoping and praying that your favorite wrestle, me, will win. I must say...I AGREE WITH YOU! But I’m not hoping, oh no. I’m not praying either...nope. I KNOW...that I will win. I mean, look at the facts! On the first Hardcore TV episode...I WON! I WON! I WON! I beat Stevie Richards...I WON! Then, on the next showing of Hardcore TV...I WON! I WON! I WON! I beat the Beast from the East, that big tub of goo Bam Bam Bigelow! I WON! So it’s pretty obvious that I’m undefeated, there’s no way anyone else could win that tournament. I’M A WINNER DAMMIT! And I’m going to be the WINNER...of the tournament! I can picture it now...
::Christian starts to daydream...::
Joey Styles: No duh he’s undefeated! He’s only had TWO matches!
Chase Cassidy: You always have to try to ruin everything don’t you Joseph? He’s undefeated, who cares how many matches he’s had!
Joey Styles: Two matches! TWO MATCHES!
Chase Cassidy: Two out of two seems pretty impressive to me. I’d like to see you defeat Bam Bam Bigelow! The fact of the matter is this...Christian...is a WINNER! He’s a WINNER! WINNER! WINNER!
Joey Styles: Yes, I know...because he won, won, won both of his matches...

He backs Rhino into the corner and chops Rhino a couple of times. Rhino throws Hall into the corner and nails a few chops of his own. He whips Hall across the ring into the opposite corner. Hall hits with so much force that he falls down, sitting on the mat with his back against the turnbuckles. Rhino crouches down, then charges across the ring and runs his knee into Hall's face. He spits in Hall's face with the crowd getting on his case. Rhino pulls Hall off and whips him off the ropes. Hall comes back and both men hit clotheslines knocking each other down! Kevin Nash makes his way down to ringside with both men down on the mat::
Joey Styles: What the hell is he doing out here!?
Chase Cassidy: Can't he give Rhino some moral support? Come on Joseph, think before you speak!
Joey Styles: Gee, for some reason I just can't believe that Nash is down here JUST to cheer Rhino on. He's up to something...why else would he have that CHAIR BEHIND HIS BACK!?
Chase Cassidy: He wants to sit down...it's not healthy to be on your feet all day Joseph. That can give you varicose veins you know!
Joey Styles: Oh, and I'm sure Nash is worried about that.
Chase Cassidy: Well, I’m sure he wants to look good, right? Varicose veins aren’t the “in” thing nowadays Joseph.
::Rhino and Hall both get to their feet at the same time. Rhino knocks Hall down to the mat with a vicious running clothesline. He motions at Nash for something. Nash slides the chair in the ring for Rhino. He pulls himself onto the apron and steps over the top rope entering the ring. Rhino picks up the chair as Hall is getting to his feet dazed. Nash tells Rhino to let him take care of it::
Joey Styles: Oh no! THIS is what Cyrus was talking about in the back!
Chase Cassidy: Huh?
Joey Styles: Cyrus told Nash that he knew what he had to do to get a title shot!
Chase Cassidy: Yeah, Cyrus is a great guy like that! Yay for Cyrus! Cyrus equals ratings you know! He's with the Office!
Joey Styles: Cyrus is making Nash take out his former friend Scott Hall in order to help Rhino advance in the tournament! It all makes sense now! What a cynical, coniving, manipulating jerk Cyrus is!
::Hall sees Nash and seems a little bit frightened. Soon though, his expression changes and he's literally begging Nash to attack him. Nash forms a fist with his huge right hand and goes to strike Hall. Right before he hits former friend Scott Hall, he turns and big boots the chair right into Rhino's face!! The fans go absolutely crazy. "E-C-Dub! E-C-Dub!" chants break out quickly and loudly. Hall looks completely confused. Nash pulls Rhino up by the hair and shoves his head between Hall's legs. Hall isn't sure what to do, but he lifts Rhino up into the air as Nash leaves the ring, headed to the back. Hall slams Rhino to the mat with the Razor's Edge...1...2...3!::
Chase Cassidy: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!? Cyrus isn't going to happy about this...I'll tell you that much!
Joey Styles: I...I really can't believe it! I thought Nash was going to screw Hall out of the tournament! Instead, he screwed Rhino! I can’t believe it! Scott Hall advances in the ECW World Title Tournament!!
::A camera man enters Cyrus’ Office as he’s throwing a fit. He knocks a container filled with writing utensils off his desk and they scatter as they hit the floor. He grabs a small fan on his desk and throws it at the wall, putting a big hole in it. Cyrus shoves his desk lamp off and the bulb shatters on the floor. He picks up him clipboard and slam it back down onto the desk::
Cyrus: WHAT!? WHAT WAS HE THINKING!? WHY DID HE DO THAT!? NAAAAAASH! You big ungrateful son of a bitch! You knew what you had to do! YOU KNEW WHAT YOU HAD TO DO! AND WHAT DID YOU DO!? YOU SCREWED RHINO! YOU SCREWED RHINO!? WHY DID YOU SCREW RHINO!? NAAAASH! I’M WITH THE OFFICE YOU KNOW! I’M THE COMMISSIONER DAMMIT! YOU CAN’T DO THAT TO ME! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU! YOU BACKSTABBING SON OF A–

Kevin Nash: You rang sir?
::Nash walks over to Cyrus’ desk as he trembles behind it, mixed emotions of fear and anger. Nash sits in a chair in front of the desk, and props his feet up on it. Cyrus is outraged as the camera cuts::
Joey Styles: Looks like Cyrus is finally going to get what he deserves!
Chase Cassidy: A raise?
Joey Styles: No you imbecile! A beating! Kevin Nash went out of his way to mess up Cyrus’ plans, and helped Scott Hall advance in the process. Cyrus was going crazy!
Chase Cassidy: Do you blame him!? Kevin Nash just screwed his man-beast Rhino out of the ECW Tournament! Rhino was sure to win!
Joey Styles: I thought you knew that Christian was "for sure" going to win Chase...
Chase Cassidy: I...uh...um...next up we have a four way Cruiserweight elimination match!

Joey Styles: You've got to believe that the winner of this match is bound to get some sort of title match soon.

::Backstage...in Cyrus’ Office. Cyrus is at his desk and Nash is sitting in a chair in front of it::
Cyrus: Okay...people make mistakes. I understand that. I probably shouldn’t have expected you to help Rhino instead of your best friend. So, tonight, you two have another match. I’m putting you two on a team! I’m with the Office you know, I can do that! Your orders, so to speak, are to take out those fan-favorite losers...Raven and Tommy Dreamer! Take them out!

Chase Cassidy: For once, I have to agree with you Joey! That was a great match! And as I predicted...
Joey Styles: Yes, I suppose you were right...E.Z. Money won. But Chris Hamrick came out here and it was basically two on one! I don't mean to take anything away from E.Z. Money though, I still can't believe he kicked out of that tornado ddt on the chair.
Chase Cassidy: It all really doesn't matter. The only thing that REALLY matters, is that E.Z. Money is the FIRST ECW TELEVISION CHAMPION!!! WOOOOOHOOOOO!
Joey Styles: A valiant effort by Kid Kash though...I've got to believe that Kash has what it takes to defeat Money. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing these two go at it again! What a match!
::Backstage Kurt Angle is coming toward Dawn Marie who is checking herself out in the mirror::
Kurt Angle: Hey Dawn!
::Dawn turns around startled::
Kurt Angle: It’s your lucky day!
Dawn Marie: Yeah, my hair looks fantastic today!

Kurt Angle: No, I mean you get to interview your Olympic Hero! Isn’t that great?
Dawn Marie: My what–
Kurt Angle: Nevermind...
::Kurt picks up Dawn’s microphone, puts it in her hand, and holds it by his face::
Kurt Angle: You know what Dawn, you’re not going to believe this...
Dawn Marie: I’m can’t believe that!
Kurt Angle: I haven’t told you what you’re not going to believe yet!
Dawn Marie: Oh, you haven’t!?
::Dawn giggles and bounces, smiling at the camera, touching her hair::
Kurt Angle: Anyway, you’re not going to believe this...
Dawn Marie: Oh...my...god...
Kurt Angle: Just give me the microphone!
::Kurt tries to grab the microphone from Dawn, but Dawn holds on and they have a tug of war. Dawn Marie lets go and Kurt laughs at her like he made some sort of accomplishment or something. Marie slaps him and grabs the microphone back from him. She bounces and giggles, then holds the mic up to Kurt’s mouth, wide open from the shock of the slap::
Kurt Angle: *holding jaw* You’re not going to believe Dawn, that...they didn’t put me on this show! I know, I know...it’s unbelievable! They didn’t put me on tonight’s show! They didn’t book me at all, whatsoever! Can you believe that!?
::Dawn goes to answer, but Kurt pulls the microphone back::
Kurt Angle: I mean, that’s horrible! Not so much for me, but for these so called "ECW Fans". They’re going to have...well, Olympic Withdrawl! That’s a serious condition you know! Does Paul Heyman not care about these fans at all? He’s wishing Olympic Withdrawl upon them! BUT, me being your Olympic Hero, I can’t just sit back and let that happen. So I requested this interview, to make sure all my fans get their Kurt Angle fix!
::Dawn Marie is paying absolutely no attention to Angle. Instead, she’s fixing her hair, bouncing, giggling, smiling, and blowing kisses at the camera. Kurt Angle looks perturbed::
Kurt Angle: You know what else you can’t believe Dawn? ...Dawn...? Hey Dawn!
Dawn Marie: *startled* Hi, I’m Dawn Marie...that’s me!
::Giggling...bouncing...::
Kurt Angle: You can’t that your Olympic Hero lost to Raven last week! He screwed me! Your Olympic Hero was screwed right out of the ECW Title Tournament! It’s true, oh it’s true! But you know what? Kurt Angle doesn’t give up. Soon enough, I’ll hold that title and bring it back to Vince McMahon in the WWF...a REAL wrestling federation. So keep your eyes out...
::Dawn is distracted by the camera again. Kurt gets up really close behind Dawn::
Kurt Angle: *yelling into Dawn’s ear* It’s true, it’s DAMN TRUE!!
::Angle walks off and Dawn Marie pouts, looking very offended. He could have messed up her hair you know::
Joey Styles: For some reason I get the impression that Dawn Marie doesn’t like Kurt Angle...
Chase Cassidy: What the hell is wrong with her!? Showing everyone’s Olympic Hero disrespect like that is completely uncalled for! Cyrus should fire her! How rude!
Joey Styles: Kurt Angle gets everything he deserves. He lost his match against Raven, he’s out of the tournament, boo hoo hoo...what a cry baby!
Chase Cassidy: Cyrus should fire you too Joseph! Then Cyrus could come out here and commentate with yours truly!
Joey Styles: Oh, that’ll bring in the ratings...
Chase Cassidy: I know! I bet Cyrus is considering it already!
::"OWWWW" the howl of the wolf signifies the entrance of Kevin Nash. He comes out with Scott Hall by his side and they pose for the fans before making their way to the ring::
::"Come Out and Play" hits the speakers and the fans go crazy. Raven and Tommy Dreamer walk out onto stage and both do the sign of the Crucifix, camera flashes going off all over the place. They make their way to the ring::
Joey Styles: Well this should be interesting. Everyone knows about the past between Raven and Tommy Dreamer. They've seemingly put their differences aside and formed an alliance, along with Francine and Stevie Richards. They should make a good team, they probably know each other better than anyone else.
Chase Cassidy: Yeah, but Cyrus' team has been teaming for...forever!
Joey Styles: Really Chase? That's a long time!
Chase Cassidy: I know!
::Tommy Dreamer and Kevin Nash start it out. Dreamer backs Nash into the corner with right hands. He whips Nash across the ring into the opposite corner. Dreamer runs in, but Nash nails him with a back elbow. He throws Dreamer into the corner and hits him with three knees to the gut, then three elbows to the face. Nash pulls Dreamer out of the corner and whips him off the ropes. Nash goes for a sidewalk slam but Dreamer escapes. He follows it up with a russian legsweep and an elbow. 1...2...Kevin Nash kicks out! Dreamer waits for Nash to get up, then drops him with a quick ddt. 1...2...Nash barely gets the shoulder up. Dreamer tags in Raven. Raven whips Nash into the turnbuckles. Raven hits him with a clothesline, locks him in a headlock, then bulldogs Nash to the mat! 1...2...Nash kicks out again. Nash gets up and swings at Raven. Raven ducks, kicks Nash in the gut, and bounces himself off the ropes, then hits Nash with a knee to the face. Raven tags Tommy Dreamer again, but this gives Nash time to tag in Scott Hall::
Joey Styles: Raven tags Tommy Dreamer back in, but Nash finally gets the tag to Scott Hall!
Chase Cassidy: Nash and Hall better start taking Dreamer and Raven out now, or Cyrus isn't going to be very happy.
Joey Styles: Speaking of Cyrus...
Chase Cassidy: YES! WOOHOO! oW oW!
::Cyrus makes his way to ringside cheering Nash and Hall on, but getting booed himself. Hall runs at Dreamer, but gets clotheslined down. When Hall gets back up, Tommy Dreamer picks him up like a body slam, and traps him in the tree of woe. He climbs to the second turnbuckle, puts his foot in Hall's crotch, then shifts all of his weight onto that foot! Cyrus yells at the referee about it, but he can't do anything. Cyrus gets onto the ring apron and yells at Dreamer. Dreamer jumps off of Hall's crotch and grabs Cyrus by the hair. Cyrus cowers and Dreamer nails him with a huge right hand knocking him to the floor! The fans go crazy and chant "E-C-DUB! E-C-DUB!" Kevin Nash gets in the ring and nails Dreamer with a big boot. The referee tries to get Nash out of the ring while Dreamer tags in Raven. Raven comes in just as Hall is getting to his feet. He kicks Hall in the stomach, then nails the Evenflow ddt! Raven makes the cover but the referee is distracted. He finally turns around and makes the count...1...2...Nash breaks up the count with a huge elbow drop! Nash goes back to his corner and begs for the tag. Hall makes the tag to Nash just as Raven makes the tag in to Tommy Dreamer. Kevin Nash hits a running Dreamer with a huge big boot! Cyrus slides a chair in for Nash to use and yells at him. Nash looks at the chair, then back at Cyrus and shakes his head::
Chase Cassidy: What is he doing!?
Joey Styles: Kevin Nash refuses to use the chair! Cyrus wants him to seriously injure Dreamer, but Nash won't use the chair!
Chase Cassidy: Nash is going to pay for this, that's for sure!
::Cyrus continues to yell at Nash, but Nash turns his head the other way. Raven comes in and Nash drops him with a sidewalk slam. Tommy Dreamer tries to get to his feet, but Nash shoves his head between his legs. He lifts Dreamer up and drops him with a huge jacknife powerbomb! Nash goes for the cover...1...2...::
Chase Cassidy: NO!
Joey Styles: WHAT THE!?
Chase Cassidy: WHAT!?
::Cyrus pulls the referee out of the ring, breaking the count! The fans boo like crazy, throwing things at Cyrus as Nash gets up and looks furious! All of a sudden, Rhino, Joey Matthews, and Christian York storm the ring, all three with chairs! They beat the hell out of Nash with the chairs. Scott Hall tries to stop them, but they do the same to him. Matthews and York hold him in the corner and Rhino GORES the hell out of him! They pull Nash up and do the exact same thing, but this time holding a chair in front of him to gore! Matthews and York hit their doubleteam hiptoss into a powerbomb on Hall, then their double implant ddt on Kevin Nash on a chair! Cyrus gets in the ring and continues to direct traffic. He pulls a mic out of his pocket...::
Joey Styles: OH MY GOD! THIS IS HORRIBLE! They're completely destroying Nash and Hall! I can't believe it!
Chase Cassidy: They're getting what they deserve at last!
Joey Styles: You're enjoying this!? You're a sick, sick man Chase! Someone! Please! Get out here and help them!
Chase Cassidy: Shut up Joseph, Cyrus has the microphone! He's with the Office you know!
Cyrus: Dammit Nash! You had to ruin it, didn't you!? You're more trouble than you're worth and the same goes for you, Scott Hall, you sorry drunk! You two are nothing, and I mean NOTHING without ME!

The Office dammit! Take them out! TAKE THEM OUT!
::Rhino, Matthews, and York beat on Nash and Hall with the chairs even more. York and Matthews double inplant ddt Hall on a chair, then help Rhino piledrive Nash on the chair too::
Joey Styles: OH MY GOD! They just hit a piledrived on Nash on that chair! Nash isn't moving! Either is Hall!
Cyrus: Scott Hall...Kevin Nash...you guys are going to be REAL Outsiders once again...YOOOOOOUUUUU'RE BOTH FIIIIIIIIRED!! You heard me, gone! You're done! Bye bye! FIRED! I JUST FIRED BOTH YOUR ASSES, NOW GET OUT OF MY COMPANY!!
