MAN: Welcome to the first edition of EWF's revamped Carnage. You can call me Acid. From this week on, i'll be the host of this lil' show. Tonight we have a lot of wrestling, even MORE fighting, and some of that "sports entertainment" stuff. I'm not a car salesman, so just sit the fu(beeeep) back and watch.
[Acid shoots the camera a cheesy grin, and we cut to an intro video showing clips and high spots of previous matches featuring the Carnage stars, to the tune of Treble Charger's "Hundred Million".]
"GO AHEAD, PLAY THE HERO THIS TIME
IF YOU HAVE ANY SPIIIIINE
I'M AT TOLERANCE ZERO TODAY
YOU CAN SAY ANYTHING TO MAKE ME STAY
WITH EVERYTHING THATS HAPPENED TO ME
I'M LOSING FAITH IN EVERYTHING I SEE
WAITING FOR THE WALLS TO BREAK FREE
I'M LISTENING BUT I CAN'T HEAR A...SOUND!
ASK EM IF YOU WANT
I'LL TELL YA WHAT THEY SAY
A HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE VOTING MY WAY, LOUD
EVERYTHING IS WRONG
WITH EVERYTHING YOU SAY
A HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE SEE IT MY WAY!"
[BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Blue pyro shoots off around the new Carnage set. The set features a square entry-way, with TWO big screens on either side - the inner sides of the screens are shaped jagged, like a broken glass. No single big screen, no ramp....something a lil' different from most shows. We head back up to the balcony above the fans, where Acid sits in his commentating booth.]
ACID: We're here to save EWF, i tell ya. SAVE THE HELL OUTTA THEM! This is EWF Carnage, i'm Acid, and by God...the atmosphere in here rivals that of a Big Tent Revival. EXCITEMENT BABY! WHOOO! First up, a Battle Royal....the winner will go on to fa....
"FUCKIN POSERS!"
ACID: What the hell?
[NERD's "Rock Star" kicks up, and THE NATURAL BORN LEGENDS, Jayme Ashe and Eclipse Champ Dex Dillon, emerge from the entry-way! Dillon has his tights on with an NBL shirt, and the Eclipse belt over his shoulder. Ashe is wearing a black suit with his hair slicked back. They head down the aisle to a mixed reaction from the HOT CROWD in Philly. They enter the ring, Dex with a HUGE smirk on his face. He asks for a mic and promptly recieves, as Ashe plays to the fans.]
DILLON: Last week, i walked out of this cesspool...for a reason. I took my title and i went home....for a reason. Indeed, it was a good reason.
[The camera cuts to a close-up of Dex.]
DILLON: EWF SUCKS.
[BOOOO]
DILLON: Thats right, this second-rate farm league SUCKS. And you know WHY they suck? No direction. No focus. Rupaul has more focus while watching lesbian porn, than EWF has. Or should i say had?
[BOOOO]
DILLON: Yes, indeed, had. Why past tense? Because my friend, my partner, my fellow LEGEND, Jayme Ashe is the new COMMISSIONER OF CARNAGE.
ACID: SWERVE!
[The crowd has a mixed reaction, as Ashe poses.]
DILLON: Thats right, Jayme Ashe is now the Commish on this show. And you know what that means? PUSH FOR ME! YES! HAHA! I am now, truly Untouchable. And Jayme's first act as commissioner? Tonight, right here, i WILL win the battle royal and face The Hooded Ronin for his Universal title!
[Ashe shakes his head and asks for his own mic.]
ASHE: Well, dude...you don't have to worry about the battle royal.
[Dillon grins like a Cheshire cat.]
DILLON: You mean....you're scrapping it and giving me the title shot?! EGADS!INCREDIBLE NEWS, MAN!
[Dillon reaches out for a handshake and Ashe obliges. As Dillon turns away, Ashe raises the mic to his mouth again.]
ASHE: Actually, you won't be facing Ronin, either.
[Dillon looks a bit dumbfounded, but the look quickly turns to another grin.]
DILLON: You've stripped Ronin of the title and you're awarding it to me?!!!!? CLEVER INDEED!
[Ashe shakes his head.]
ASHE: Not quite.
[Dillon scratches his head and looks Ashe in the eyes.]
DILLON: So....what am i doing tonight, Jayme?
[Ashe runs his hand over his slicked hair. Then motions for someone to come down to the ring. To Dex's surprise, several security guards are surrounding him in mere seconds.]
DILLON: Wh-what is this?!
[Ashe smirks and puts his hand on Dex's shoulder.]
ASHE: Well, Dex, my first act as commissioner of Carnage? Its STRIPPING YOU OF THE ECLIPSE TITLE.
[Crowd pops as Ashe grabs the belt.]
ASHE: My second act is to FIRE your ass. You're banned from the arena AND Carnage.
[Crowd pops again.]
DILLON: WH-WHAT? WHY, DAMMIT?
[Ashe lets go of Dex's shoulder as the guards cuff him.]
ASHE: One thing a true Legend would never do is walk out on an organization when it needs him. EWF hit a skid and you hit the road. Thats bull, Dex. As far as i'm concerned, your ass can get back on that road because Carnage doesn't need someone who could bail on us at any moment.
[Ashe pats Dex's chest.]
ASHE: See ya.
[The guards drag Dillon off to a chorus of cheers from the crowd. Once they quiet down, Ashe clears his throat.]
ASHE: With that out of the way, WELCOME TO MY SHOW!
[Crowd pops again.]
ASHE: Tonight, you're going to see guys who actually WANT to compete for EWF, and they're all right here on Carnage. A battle royal, a Bring Your Own Weapons match, a Universal title defense, and TWO tourney matches.
[Ashe leans on the top rope.]
ASHE: Ahh, but you're wondering what this tourney is for, right?
[Ashe pats the Eclipse title on his shoulder.]
ASHE: Right here, boys and girls. The EWF Eclipse Championship. While the tourney will be EXCLUSIVE to Carnage, the winner will be able to defend his or her title on either show.
[Ashe steps back from the ropes.]
ASHE: Now, i've been out here for a few minutes too long. I'm not here to take TV time from the Carnage superstars. I was asked to do a job. I'm being paid GOOD MONEY to do a job. So thats what i'm here to do. Thank you for your time and enjoy the rest of the show!
[Ashe tosses the mic to a ring attendant and leaves to a nice pop from the crowd.]
ACID: 10 minutes into the show and we're already living up to our name. Ashe is commish? Dillon is fired? Eclipse title is the tournament prize? Its freakin' Carnage! Speaking of Carnage, when we come back from this break...several people are going to kick each others asses! Its battle royal time! Next!
[Aaaand we're back. Jack Kannon, Viktor Molotov, and Brandon Green are standing in the ring for the battle royal.]
ACID: Welcome back to Carnage. I'm Acid and our roster must feel like they've been dropping acid and hallucinating - Jayme Ashe is the new commish of our little show here! Putting that aside, we do have a battle royal for you fans right now. A few differences from regular battle royals, though. You can win THIS one by pin, submission or throwing your opponents over-the-top and to the floor. The ref will stay outside until a pin is attempted, just so he doesn't get in the way.
[We hear Acid counting to himself.]
ACID: WELL, looks like 3 of the 5 competitors are already in the ring. Reaver was scheduled to be here, but nobody has seen him all day....odd guy, that one is.
[Suddenly the lights go out and heavy drums start to kick up. The crowd goes silent.]
"We built this Festival for you bastards! WITH ALL OUR LOVE!"
ACID: For those new to the EWF, you're about to witness something special - Tony Badinski's hat tricks!
[There's a twang from a guitar and a flash of a taped fist punching at the camera on the CDV Screens.]
"We worked around the year for you, you PIGS!"
[Another two twangs from the guitar and two more fists punching at the screens.]
"You wanna break our walls down? YOU WANT TO FUCKING DESTROY US?! WELL YOU GO TO HELL!!!"
ACID: WHOO! RANDOM CURSING!
[Pyros explode all over the place and Kristin "The Wolf" Cassidy and Tony "T-Dogg" Badinski emerge from behind the curtain. Kris punches in the air a few times and Badinski holds his cane up high, as the crowd roars! On the CDV Screens, the logo for B.A.D.A.S.S. Inc. flashes, causing the crowd to react even louder. Pyros explode down the ramp, and Kris hops on his feet a moment, then starts down the ramp, cracking his neck. He's wearing his usual leather bowl hat, and a loose black vest aside from his wrestling attire. Spinning around, T-Dogg runs his fingers around the rim of his hat, tilting it eeeever-so-slightly. He struts down the ramp beside of Cassidy. "Fucking in the Bushes" by Oasis kicks up into full swing.]
ACID: (yelling over the crowd noise) THE CROWD IS STANDING IN UNISON! THEY'RE DIGGIN KRIS AND T-DOGG!
[The crowd starts to clap in time with the beat. Now at ringside, Kris tosses his hat aside with one hand and takes his vest off with the other, tossing it to the crowd. Tony sets his cane on the apron and takes his hat off, spinning it across his shoulders and catching it with one hand.]
ACID: I hope you guys at home are recording this!
[He throws it to the fans, as well. Kris, grinning at the fans, and T-Dogg flip over the ropes and into the ring. Both do a series of warm-up punches, but Tony ends with a roundhouse kick. T-Dogg takes his sunglasses off and looks over Molotov, Green and Kannon. He shakes his head and walks over to Cassidy, as they exchange a few words and tap fists.]
ACID: A show of unity on the parts of one of BADASS Inc's founders and their newest member. Touching, really.
[Acid sniffs, as the bell rings. The five men look at one another for a moment before Badinski jumps on Molotov. This sparks a RIOT as Cassidy and Kannon attack Green.]
ACID: And its on!
[Badinski is literally PUMMELING Molotov with a barrage of punches in the corner. He finishes up with a snapping high kick, which nearly sends the Russian over the ropes. On the other side of things, Cassidy and Kannon have Green halfway over the ropes. Green counters with a thumb to Kannon's eye, which causes him to let go. Green springs back into the ring and Cassidy rushes him, arm extended for a clothesline. The Extreme One ducks, and Cassidy NAILS Kannon, causing him to fly backwards. Kannon springs off of the ropes, as Green goes to nail Cassidy with a superkick. Cassidy ducks this time and Kannon gets BUSTED right in the jaw.]
ACID: Jack Kannon is having a rough start in this one. Maybe he should just pack it up and go home.
[Back in the corner, Molotov has taken control on T-Dogg, ramming his shoulder into his gut. Green attempts to throw Kannon out, and Cassidy heads over to help his stable-mate. Double Axe-Handle to Molotov's back! The commie turns and faces Cassidy, seemingly unphased. Badinski shoots out of the corner and nails Molotov with a high knee to the back. Cassidy catches Viktor as he springs forward, with a straight right jab. Molotov staggers backwards, into a rolling elbow strike from T-Dogg. He nearly falls as he lunges forward, but gets an uppercut from Cassidy, which DROPS the big man.]
ACID: BADASS Inc has a personal punching bag, in the form of Viktor Molotov!
[Jack Kannon manages to get out of his predicament, and is now having a staredown with Brandon Green. They LOCK UP and Kannon comes out with an armbar on Green.]
ACID: The hell is this, a wrestling match or something?
[Kannon pulls Green into a SHORT ARM CLOTHESLINE.]
ACID: Ahh, there we go!
[Green drops, and Kannon stomps away at him. Back on the other side, Cassidy and Badinski are taking turns pounding on Molotov. They hit a double suplex, and the big man goes down. T-Dogg heads over to Kannon and spins him around, nailing him with a knee strike.Green pulls himself up and gets nailed by a T-Dogg roundhouse kick. Kannon gets back to his feet and hits Badinski in the stomach with a stiff fist. T-Dogg staggers back, as Kannon hits a dropkick on Green, sending him over the top rope and to the floor!]
ACID: Brandon Green is eliminated! We're down to the final four! Go Duke!
[Crickets]
ACID: Err....yea!
[Kannon immediately gets up and goes after T-Dogg, picking him up for a scoop slam. Cassidy is now being choked by Molotov. Kris is strangely calm for a man being choked, seemingly thinking of a counter. With a sudden burst, Cassidy shoves Molotov back and swings a left at his face. Molotov ducks it and swiftly NAILS Cassidy with a low kick.]
ACID: Damn dude...that was uncalled for!
[Cassidy's face turns blue, as Molotov goes back to a choke. He lets up after a few seconds and NAILS Cassidy with a headbutt, which seemingly hurts Molotov more than it did Cassidy, who rushes out of the corner with a SPEAR, taking the big man down. On the other side of the ring, Kannon has control of Badinski, climbing to the second rope. He jumps off, nailing T-Dogg with a legdrop.]
ACID: Stupid sponsers....we have to take a commercial break, so....don't go anywhere!
[Fade back, as Kannon has Badinski in the corner, preparing to charge him. Cassidy is working over Molotov's legs.]
ACID: Welcome back. You didn't miss much.
[Kannon charges, but Badinski moves. Kannon smashes into the turnbuckle pads and turns around. Badinski makes a kissy face and lifts him up on his shoulders!]
ACID: Badinski has him up for the Kiss Of Death!
[Instead of dropping him on the mat, T-Dogg sends Kannon over the top rope! He hits the floor with a thud.]
ACID: Jack Kannon is done!
[Molotov regained the advantage over Cassidy by poking him in the eyes. Cassidy is back in the corner, as Molotov prepares for the Iron Curtain. Before he can charge, T-Dogg nails him with a sidekick, causing him to stagger towards the ropes. Cassidy busts Molotov with a hard right, and T-Dogg follows up with a spinning heel kick, sending the commie over the top rope and to the floor.]
ACID: We're down to two stable-mates! BADASS INC will get a title shot later tonight, but who will represent them?
[Tony and Cassidy look at one another and rest for a moment. Cassidy grins and comes out of the corner with FANCY FOOTWORK, before stopping in a boxing stance. Tony looks at him and cracks his neck and smirks, before assuming HIS boxing stance. The crowd is going insane.]
ACID: Its Lewis/Tyson! Jones Jr/Some other guy! Uhh...i'm spent for boxing references now.
[They circle one another. Cassidy teases a few jabs, but Badinski doesn't flinch. He jabs a few times as well, no flinch from Cassidy. More circling. Cassidy fakes a left and just misses T-Dogg's face with a right. Tony looks surprised, but quickly gets focused again.]
ACID: WHAM! Smack em! Whooo!
[Tony swings with a right, but Cassidy ducks and hits him with a STINGING left jab. Tony is momentarily staggered, but quickly regains his composure. Cassidy shows off his footwork some more. Tony stops and does a standing backflip, into a handstand. This throws Cassidy off, and Tony takes advantage with a series of stiff straight kicks, followed up with a MULE KICK! Cassidy is reeling! Tony with...A SMALL PACKAGE! THE REF SLIDES IN!]
ACID: ONE! TWO! TH...NO! KICKOUT!
[Both men spring back up, but Cassidy grabs Tony in a side headlock. Tony pulls him back and whips him off the ropes....shoulder-block by Tony, neither man budges. Cassidy runs the ropes again....Tony ducks, Cassidy with a leap-frog....he turns ....right hook! Tony drops! He springs back up...Cassidy with another hook! Tony bounces back up....Cassidy with a left-handed uppercut! Tony staggers back into the corner! Cassidy rushes him, but Tony side-steps and nails Cassidy, near the ropes.]
ACID: Looks like Badinski's setting up for The Shake Down!
[Wham! Wham! Wham! Dance! Tony goes for the spin kick, Cassidy ducks....clothesline over the top! The momentum carries both men over!]
ACID: They hit the floor at the same time!
[The ring announcer heads over to the ref, and they discuss things.]
ACID: Well THAT was pretty damned odd. Lets check out the replay!
ACID: I can't tell who hit first....what are we gonna do about the main event?
[The ring announcer climbs into the ring, as Cassidy and T-Dogg regain their composure on the outside.]
RING ANNOUNCER: Referee Craig Parker has declared this match a draw between Tony "T-DOOOOOGG" Badinski and Kristin "THE WOOOOOLF" Cassidy! He has informed me that Commissioner Ashe told him before the match that, in this case, both men will go on to face The Hooded Ronin later tonight, for the UNIVERSAL CHAMPIONSHIP!
[The crowd pops as T-Dogg and Cassidy shake hands and play to them. They head back up the ramp, showing little signs of exhaustion.]
ACID: Okay....well, i guess Tony Badinski and Kris Cassidy will BOTH face Ronin tonight. I'll try to get more details during this commercial break!
[Fade back in.]
ACID: Whew...what a battle royal.
[Acid is standing in front of his desk.]
ACID: Okay, i have confirmation. Tonights main event will be a three way dance, as Ronin defends against Cassidy AND Badinski. Crazy ending to the battle royal. Speaking of stuff happening during the commercial break, check THIS out.
[Shot of backstage, with the words "During The Break" at the bottom of the screen. William Ferrigan is walking! A dejected Viktor Molotov walks by him. Ferrigan stops and snickers rather loudly, then starts walking again. Suddenly, the Commie rushes him and knocks him down with a BRUTAL forearm shot of the back of the head. Ferrigan's head snaps forward and he hits the floor. Molotov smiles a demented smile, and walks away.]
ACID: And this is whats going on now.
[Several officials and EMT's surround Ferrigan, trying to get him on a stretcher. We cut back to the ring, where Ace is standing.]
ACID: Obviously, William Ferrigan is hurt bad. I dunno where that leaves Ace and this first round tournament match.
[Ace has a mic. The crowd is silent, not really caring about him.]
ACE: I came here tonight to wrestle!
[Crowd yawns. JACK KANNON appears out of NOWHERE behind of Ace. He taps Ace on the shoulder. He turns and recieves a boot to the stomach. Kannon lifts him up.]
ACID: ITS "THE END"! Devastating Spicolli Driver!
[Kannon spits on Ace and leaves the ring, still looking pissed about the battle royal.]
ACID: Well, so much for our first round of this tournament. Hopefully next week goes a little smoother. Maybe we'll actually HAVE a first round match this week here in a few minutes when D. Lep takes on THE LIVING LIGHTNING ROD, Stryker.
[Fade in from black, we're backstage in the hallway. Tony Badinski is standing in front of a vending machine.]
T-DOGG: Blue pepsi? What will they think of ne...
[WHAM! Two baseball bats swing into the picture, one smacks Tony between the shoulder blades, the other hits his lower back. The attackers jet around the corner before the camera can catch them. We cut back to the commentator booth.]
ACID: What was THAT all about?
[Fade back in, with the camera focused on the entry-way.]
ACID: Well, EMT's are looking at T-Dogg backstage. Obviously his ribs and back must be hurting, because those dudes NAILED him with those bats.
[The lights go out... musical chords start to build and the fans start to go wild! "TNT" by AC/DC hits.]
ACID: Well, it looks like we're going to get at least ONE of this weeks first round Eclipse tourney matches off without some BS.
[Blue lightning strikes the stage and the lights come back up in a blue color. Stryker is standing on the stage, his right arm raised high to the sky. He doesn't seem to have his Cruiserweight title with him. Stryker makes his way down to the ring and hops up to the apron. He walks to the corner and jumps over the ropes onto the turnbuckle. He faces the crowd and raises his hand again as lightning strikes the other three turnbuckles. He jumps to the top of the turnbuckle and does a backflip into the ring. He stands still, and almost shudders, a chill passing through the air. The atmosphere almost changes as he stops and calmly awaits D. Lep]
ACID: This one should be a SLOBBERKNOCKER and such!
[White Zombie rocks the hizzy, as the maniacal D. Leprechaun skips to the ring, sans MCUL or Vinnie. He does a half-assed cartwheel down the aisle, before springing up and licking a fat bald guy on top of his head. The crowd laps it up, no pun intended, cheering on the small lad.]
ACID: Lep seems oddly focused on this match up.
[He does a running somersault towards the ring.]
ACID: Believe it or not, thats about as focused as Lep gets.
[Lep slides into the ring and chews on the middle turnbuckle, as Stryker looks on, shaking his head. The bell rings. Lep grins wildly at Stryker, who warms up in the corner. Finally they meet in the center. Collar-n-elbow tieup!]
ACID: It looks like Lep is going to try and out-wrestle Stryker!
[Stryker pulls Lep into a side headlock....Lep....BITES Stryker's arm! Stryker complains, and the ref scolds Lep, who tries his best to look innocent.]
ACID: Lep's innocent look is a little overshadowed by that wicked grin of his.
[They lock up again...Lep pulls Stryker into a headlock this time! The fans go crazy as Lep raises his fist into the arm and yells out in celebration!]
ACID: The lil' guy pulled a wrestling hold!
[Stryker swings a few elbows into Lep's gut, but the insane one ignores it. Stryker with a fist to the stomach! Lep lets up, and backs into the ropes. He springs off, but Stryker catches him with a dropkick to the knee. Lep stays on his feet, as Stryker goes for another! Lep side-steps and pounces, throwing fists to the back of Strykers head.]
ACID: So much for wrestling.
[Lep stands up and heads for the corner, but Stryker grabs his leg and pulls him down, going for an achilles lock. Lep rolls through it and smacks Stryker in the forehead, then laughs maniacally. Stryker stands up, with Lep's foot in his hand. Lep hops up on one foot. ENZUGIRI! STRYKER DUCKS! Lep comes back around with a reverse enzugiri!]
ACID: Looks like Tony Badinski has taught his partner a thing or two!
[Lep is up, climbing to the second rope. Stryker is writhing in pain. Lep crashes down and a fist-drop! Pin attempt gains 2. Lep pulls Stryker to his feet. Stryker with a stiff kick to Lep's leg! Lep ignores it! Stryker again! Lep can't ignore that one. He staggers back, almost limping. Stryker goes for a double-leg takedown. Figure four! Lep is halfway outside of the ring, so the ref won't allow it. Stryker goes for an elbow to the inside of Lep's knee. The ref breaks them up, allowing Lep to get his torso back into the ring.]
ACID: The ref just hit the reset button on this match!
[Both men are up. Lep has a half-limp, but a huge smile on his face.Stryker sizes him up. Double leg takedown attempt is met with a hard double-axe handle to Stryker's back! Stryker goes down, and Lep flips over him with a slobby sunset flip. ONE! TWO! Kickout! Stryker rolls through. As Lep stands, his knee is met with another dropkick! Lep falls, Stryker jumps over and crosses Lep's legs. He goes for an indian deathlock! Lep kicks out of it, but Stryker grabs his leg and slams it down into the mat.]
ACID: Stryker has come into this match with a gameplan!
[Stryker lifts Lep up and whips him into the corner. Lep stops short and takes a single leap to the top rope! Stryker is caught off-guard as Lep jumps off with a VICIOUS clothesline from the top! Both men are down.]
ACID: Signs of wear and tear are showing now.
[Lep is up first. He picks Stryker up by the hair and throws him into the corner. MUDHOLE STOMPIN! Lep with a series of brutal kicks to Stryker's chest. On the final one, he grins wildly and WHAM, smashes Stryker in the face. The fans are in a frenzy!]
ACID: Thats our Lep! Brutal as HELL.
[Lep limps back and stops, pointing at Stryker, who's still down in the corner. He runs in as fast as he can with a hurt leg, CHARGING HEADBUTT to Stryker's face! Lep shakes his head, as Stryker rolls outside of the ring. Lep follows, WHAM! Lep drops like a ton of bricks. We cut to the other side of the ring just in time to see Stryker put a crowbar back under it.]
ACID: Stryker cheats? Who knew?
[The ref has no clue what happened, as he counts both men out. Around 6, Stryker rolls Lep back into the ring and follows him in. Stryker picks him up.HIGH VOLTAGE! Lep springs back up, laughing all evil-like! Stryker is in shock, but quickly regains his composure and kicks Lep in the gut and sets him up for the Voltplex! He lifts Lep up...]
ACID: Lep counters! POT O GOLD! OUT OF NOWHERE!
[Stryker falls, as Lep pounds him into oblivion. Stryker manages to get his legs under Lep. Monkey flip! Lep smashes the ref into the corner! Stryker with a roll up, but nobody is around to count. Both men are back up. Stryker ducks a clothesline and tries one of his own. Lep ducks and HOOKS THE POT O GOLD AGAIN!]
ACID: This one is over!
[Suddenly, KORY MASON AND DAN DOMAIN rush down the aisle!]
ACID: They're on Havoc, WHATSUPWITDAT?
[Lep sees them coming and MAULS Domain. Mason sneaks up behind him. MACE TO THE EYES! LEP IS BLINDED!]
ACID: NO! SHENANIGANS!
[Domain and Mason leave the ring, walking backwards up the aisle. Stryker gets up, trying to avoid Lep's wild swings. Kick to the stomach! VOLTPLEX! The ref is barely awake! 1-2-3!]
ACID: DAMMIT! WHAT THE HELL IS DOUBLE FEATURE DOING HERE?
[As Mason and Domain get to the entry-way, they're met by KRIS CASSIDY.]
ACID: GET THEM!
[Cassidy nails Domain with a right hook, followed by a swift kick to Mason's stomach. UPPERCUT on Mason! Several security officers come out to carry them away, as Cassidy heads down to the ring to check on Lep.]
ACID: We'll be right back! This is Carnage!
[Fade back in, security is escorting Double Feature out of the building. Stryker is watching from a distance, as Jayme Ashe is following them.]
JAYME ASHE: And if you punks EVER think about coming back to MY show, i'll have you arrested and charged with Public Suckiness! Get your asses back to Havoc, where you belong.
[Ashe shakes his head and watches security and Double Feature head out double-doors. We cut to BADASS INC's dressing room, where Cassidy, a noticeably sore T-Dogg and JUST ARRIVING Vinnie are cleaning Lep's eyes out with water.]
BADINSKI: I can't believe this bulls(beep).
[Carnage reporter Dale Barker bursts through the door and shoves a mic in Lep's face.]
BARKER: D. Lep, you were just BRUTA....
[Before he can spit it out, Lep pounces and begins biting and mauling Dale. He stops, as Dale's tears mix with the blood all over his face. Lep smiles widely and sniffs the air like a wild animal, then takes off for the hallway. We cut back to the arena.]
ACID: Well, that was pretty damn weird. Up next, we have.....what? Lep's found Stryker?!
[Quick cut backstage, where Stryker and Ashe are discussing Double Feature.]
JAYME ASHE: If i EVER, and i mean EVER catch those two on my show again, its your ass. Got me?
[Stryker looks shocked.]
STRYKER: Hey, man...i don't know why they're here. I wanted to win my match fair and square. I had nothing to do with them being he...
[Suddenly Lep spears Stryker and begins tearing at Stryker's skin, laughing maniacally. He bites him on the bridge of the nose, looks up and yells "ITS MAGICALLY DELICIOUS! HAHAHAHA!". Ashe looks at T-Dogg, Vinnie and Cassidy, who are watching the mauling.]
ASHE: God damn. Hey guys, wanna DO SOMETHING about this? Our roster is small enough as it is.
[They look at one another and shrug, then go to pull Lep off of Stryker, who's a bloody mess and has bite marks on the bridge of his nose. Once BADASS Inc have Lep off, they have to practically DRAG him away, as he yells incoherent profanities. Ashe stands over Stryker, who's shaking. The commish starts to say something, but just shakes his head and walks away. We cut back to the ring...]
ACID: Note to self.....self, don't cross Lep.
[Too Tough is standing in the ring.]
ACID: Well, this was SUPPOSED to be a Bring Your Own Weapons match, but Too Tough apparently doesn't need any. That might be his downfall.
[THE ALTER BOYS' "PIGS AND PINEAPPLES" entertains the crowd, as LIL' MIKEY WALLACE rushes the ring, with a small object in his hand.]
ACID: What the hell is tha...its a CAN OF TUNA BY GOD!
[Too Tough attempts to BIG BOOT Mikey in the face, but Mikey counters with a DROPKICK to the TESTICLES. Too Tough drops to the mat in pain. Mikey picks him up by the hair. He grabs Too Tough in a headlock and rushes the corner.]
ACID: ITS THE CATALYST!
[Mikey flips over and DROPS Too Tough's head RIGHT on the tuna can. Mikey with a ONE FOOT pin, and the ref counts.]
ACID: THREE! Its over! Mikey OWNED Too Tough!
[As Mikey celebrates, the lights go out. Cypress Hill's "Clash Of The Titans" plays, as red lights shine down on the crowd and ring. Mikey looks around, ready for a fight. Reaver's logo comes up on the CDV Screens, and his voice thunders throughout the arena.]
REAVER'S VOICE: You'll be spared for now. As will all of Carnage. All of EWF. But soon....
[Reavers voice cuts out, as the lights come back on. Mikey looks around nervously, and leaves the ring.]
ACID: But soon what?!
[As Too Tough gets to his feet, JENNY climbs over the railing and hobbles into the ring, with a crutch in hand.]
ACID: ITS JENNY! Too Tough was given a first round tourney bye because of her foot injury!
[Jenny BREAKS the crutch over Too Tough's head, as he crumbles to the ground again. She leaves the way she came.]
ACID: Christ, man...whats gonna happen next?
[Back, camera is on the entrance.]
ACID: We're ready for our main event!
[Oasis kicks up, as Cassidy and T-Dogg make the same entrance as before. This time, however, Tony is clutching his ribs and Cassidy has a very serious look on his face.]
ACID: A show of unity on the part of BADASS Inc...but will it all be in vain?
[They enter the ring, tap fists and go to opposite sides of the ring to prepare.]
ACID: This could end a fairly bad night for BADASS Inc on a good note, but Ronin isn't going to make it easy on them.
[The lights dim to nothing, and slowly smoke begins to fill the top of the entrance ramp. The CDV Screens show nothing but fire, and slowly, blood red words begin to appear;
The Strong survive...
The weak Die...
Are you worthy?
Prepare yourselves...
Cue the Pyros, as colums of flame ignite along the sides of the entrance ramp and all around the ring, And the Ronin begins to walk out, sakuba in hand.]
ACID: C'mon now, this should be a fair match...he doesn't need that weapon!
[Officials stop him at the entry way, and attempt to take the Sakuba away, one of which is only met by a Karmic Strike to the chest, Then the Ronin distainfully shoves the sakuba into the hands of another, and again begins to walk to the ring. The Fire dies down and the lights raise when he enters the Ring.]
ACID: This man is so full of rage, it looks like he could explode at any moment!
[Cassidy and T-Dogg nod at one another, and Tony steps out on the apron.]
ACID: Looks like Ronin will start off against Kris Cassidy.
[They circle one another, but Ronin quickly tries to strike with a kick. Cassidy blocks with his hands, and catches Ronin off guard with a right jab. The Hooded One staggers back, and Cassidy goes on the attack with a flurry of punches. Ronin retreats to the outside, as Cassidy takes a few jabs at the air, to a roar of approval from the crowd.]
ACID: Boxing has momentarily triumphed over martial arts!
[Ronin kneels to regain his composure. Cassidy grins and jets towards the ropes.]
ACID: PIKEY SCREWDRIVER!
[Both men are down, writhing in pain.]
ACID: Cassidy caught Ronin full-on! I don't think ANYONE expected that!
[Tony is now over where the two are. He picks up Ronin and rolls him back into the ring, then checks on Cassidy. He picks Cassidy up and rolls him back in, as well. The ref begins a 10 count, as both men are down.1.....2......3......4.....a little movement from Ronin.....5.....6............7......Cassidy is pulling himself up! Ronin springs to his feet. Karmic Strike attempt! Cassidy grabs Ronin's foot....BRUTAL elbow to the jaw! Both men are down again. Cassidy rolls towards the corner where Tony is standing. Tony tags himself in!]
ACID: !!!!!!
[Cassidy shrugs and rolls out onto the apron. Tony still looks in pain from being jumped earlier. He reaches down and drags Ronin into the corner. Tony takes a few steps back and rushes.]
ACID: CEMENT SHOES! FAHGETTABOUDIT!
[Tony pulls Ronin out and pins him. 1,2...kickout!]
ACID: Ronin is a tough, tough man!
[Tony looks frustrated, but picks Ronin up anyway. He goes for The Shake Down! Ronin ducks the kick and gets a leg sweep for his troubles. He hits the mat with a THUD.]
ACID: My GOD, Tony's head BOUNCED off the mat!
[Both men are down, as Kris Cassidy reaches out for a tag. Suddenly, a man flies over the railing in a wheelchair that has a small helicopter blade attached to the back. He flies over to Kris Cassidy. A boxing glove emerges from the arm-rest, nailing Cassidy in the back.]
ACID: THATS DR. HEINRICH!
[Cassidy scowls and jumps down, chasing the Doc around the ring and back up the aisle, leaping up and down while shaking his fist. The ref follows, leaving Ronin and Badinski in the ring. Heinrich disappears behind the curtain, with Cassidy in tow. Suddenly, he FLIES back out of it. MONGO BRIGGS steps out from behind the curtain.]
ACID: WHAT IS MONGO DOING HERE?
[Cassidy tries to fight back, but Mongo is just too overpowering. D LEP APPEARS from backstage and JUMPS ON MONGO'S BACK!]
ACID: ALL HELL IS BREAKING LOOSE!
[As Cassidy and Lep battle Mongo, back in the ring T-Dogg has Ronin up for The Kiss Of Death! A man in a suit and black hood jumps the barricade and stands on the ring apron, holding a KENDO STICK behind his back. Badinski drops Ronin and walks over. WHAM! Tony's nose EXPLODES, showering blood all over the ring, himself, Ronin and the man in the suit. A few drops even hit some fans in the front row. The man unhoods, revealing himself.]
ACID: ITS KAGATO TORIAMI! I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN!
[The Oni grins wickedly and jumps down from the apron. The ref gives up on Mongo, Cassidy and Lep, as security surrounds them, trying to break the fight up. The ref returns to ring, where Ronin has his arm drapped over a fallen and bloody Tony Badinski. 1-2-3!]
ACID: Well, Ronin has kept his title, but he has his Evil Genius friends to thank for it.
[Lep and Cassidy continue brawling with Mongo and security guards, as EMT's rush down to check on T-Dogg. Oni pulls a hurting Ronin out of the ring and helps him through the crowd, away from the carnage.]
ACID: This is ROBBERY.
[We cut backstage, where Jayme Ashe is standing with his cell phone in his ear.]
ASHE: Two things, Zai. I want Havoc wrestlers BANNED from my god damned show. This is insane, man. Secondly, i want Oni and Ronin to defend their tag titles next week against two members of BADASS Inc. What? What the hell do you mean the tag champs are signed to Havoc? Effective as of the end of this show? Thats BULLSH(beep)! Yea, well you guys will be hearing from my lawyers.
[Ashe closes his phone and scowls.]
ASHE: McDormant's ass is mine.
ACID: The tag champs are signed to Havoc now? What about the world title?
[Fade to black.]
