*Now, the music fades out, and then we see Justin Carmichael pacing backstage. Jade Diamond walks up to him, and they start to talk. However, from behind, Lance Slade runs out with a television screen. Lance raises it, and then brings it down on Justin's head. Jade begins to kick him in the ribs as well. Then, they deliver the Bottom Dollar to him, leaving him a bloody mess. They laugh, and then run off.*

*The camera shot changes to the Bodyslams Arena. Fans are pakced in, as nearly seven thousand are on hand for the event. Hundreds of signs are visible. "Kade Is Satan," "Crown Chaos King," and "Slade Is A Playa-Hater!" The camera then settles on the EGWA newsdesk, where Mike Rether and Clint White are seen sitting.*

Mike: Welcome, one and all, to the first EGWA Pay-Per-View of the year 2000, "Nightmares And Dreamscapes!" But, right now, I wanna know what happened right there? Jade and Slade attack their partner, Justin Carmichael? What will they do with the Tag Team titles?

*Suddenly, "The Zoo" by The Scorpions starts up, and The Organization starts their death march to the ring. President Palm leads the way, followed by Ciarin Kade. Jade Diamond comes next, flanked by Ferdinand The Financial Advisor. His Juniorweight title is around his waist. Next, Lance Slade walks to the ring, with both halves of the EGWA Tag Team Titleson his shoulders. They reach the ring, as the fans rain the ring with boos.*

Palm: Fans, are you ready for the greatest night in the history of the EGWA!? With that said, are you ready to see the beginning of the end of NC-17!?

*The fans begin to boo wildly.*

Palm: Yes, yes, we love you as well. This evening marks the beginning of the end of DRH, Hardcore Jones and Hardcore Jay! First off, you will witness first-hand the decimation of the man Hardcore Jones and Jay once called friend, The Hardcore Midget! You'll see The Hardcore Playas destroyed by Rich And Famous! And, don't worry. There WILL be a replacement for Justin Carmichael, the deadweight that he is. And, finally, you will see the destruction of DRH, and the mighty rise of President RIan Palm to World Title Status, as well! Friends...It's going to be a very Organized evening.

*"The Zoo" starts up again, and The Organization, the most powerful stable in EGWA, walk from the ring. The camera focuses on Mike and Clint again.*

CLint: Mike, The Organization looks as if they mean business. This is gonna get messy tonight!

Mike: How right you very well may be. However, right now, we're gonna get our first match on the way. You're gonna see Will Storm take on James Steele in the first-ever "Desert Storm" match! The ring will be filled with sand, scorpions, cactuses-

Clint: What? Cactuses?

Mike: Yes. It means more than one cactus.

Clint: The plural form of cactus is cacti! Did you go to school with Hardcore Jones? You talk like him.

Mike: Shut up, you-

*Suddenly, "I'm Alive" by Helloween starts up, and the crowd begins to boo wildly. Jade Diamond emerges from the entranceway, with his Juniorweight title draped over his shoulder. He carries with him a bottle of Evian spring water. However, he steps back a foot, and then another man comes out from the back. Dressed in black Paco jeans and a Wu Wear t-shirt, he walks beside Jade. They make it to the Newsdesk.*

Jade: Hey fellas. Mike, President Palm has instructed me to take you out of your position.

Mike: What? I carry this broadcast, everyone knows that!

Clint: Bha!

Jade: You got no charisma, buddy. President Palm wants to talk to you. Leave now.

Mike: Never!

Jade: Have it your way.

*He grabs Mike, and then tosses him off of the broadcast area. Mike falls ten feet to the concrete ground. Jade takes his headset, and then gives one to the man that was with him.*

Clint: Thank God. The deadweight is gone, and it's time for a real show. But, Jade, who's your friend here?

Jade: Clint, these past few weeks, I've been followed by someone! I've been stalked! So, I went out, and I found the best bodyguard in the business! With Ferdinand and this man, Ber-

Bernard: Bernard The Ebonics-Ninja, at yo service, yo! Get ready for a night of non-stop droppin' knowledge by the Lord Of The Dance, me, yo!

Jade: Try not to talk too often, pal.

Clint: Really. Let's get this match under way.

*"The God That Failed" by Metallica starts up, and Will Storm walks to the ring. He carries only a red towel, slung around his neck. He enters the ring, and sits on the top turnbuckle.*

Jade: This guy sucks.

*The lights fade out, and "When World's Collide" by Powerman 5000 starts up. James Steele runs to the ring, wheeling a shopping cart filled with various weapons. The bell rings, and the match is underway.*

Clint: Will Storm gets charges from behind with the shopping cart filled with various weapons! Now, hes ramming the cart wheels into his ribs! God Damn!

Jade: Damn right!

Bernie: That was the shit yo!

Clint: Something like that I think!?

Jade: Look at thus now low blow by the new rookie Will Storm and he pushes the cart onto James Steele upper torso!

Clint: WOW! Will Storm has some how come back with a move from no where. IOr should should I say "BALL BUSTER" from Storm! Now, Will rolls him onto the out side of the ring, and SUCIDE DIVE ONTO JAMES STEELE ONTO THE OUTSIDE!!! Cover 1,2,NOPE not that time!

Jade: Why, do the goddamn bookers book this horse shit!

Bernie: Yo right homie!

Jade: Shut up did I tell you to talk!

Clint: Right. Well, back to the action, we've got Storm with a whip on Steele into the guard railing! Storm kicking away at Steele! He's fighting like a man posessed! Storm goes into the shopping cart, and he finds a cookie sheet! Sheet to the head of Steele! Storm is acting like a lunatic! He tosses the sheet onto the ground, and lifts Steele to his feet. Steele clips out Storm's knee though, and then starts to stomp away at Storm! He pulls him to his feet, and then looks to be trying for a piledriver! No, back bodydrop from Storm! Steele landed on that cookie sheet!

Jade: Wow, the fans are going nuts. This is insane. Stop the match.

Clint: You don't sound too adamant about that. Storm up, and he rolls Steele into the ring. Springboard off the top rope, and he nails a frankensteiner onto Steele! He rolls into a reverse victory roll...1...2...Kickout by Steele! First thing he's done right tonight! Storm up again, and he pulls Steele to his feet! Vertical suplex into the center of the ring! Storm is leaving the ring, and he tosses the shopping cart over the top rope, spilling all the weapons!

Bernie: Yo, dope! We 'bout ta see some fly moves here, yo!

Clint: Uh huh, you bet pal. Storm gets a stereo speaker from the mat! He sets it on the ground, and then whips Steele into the ropes. Drop toehold onto that speaker!! It broke all over his head! Storm is laughing right now, as we goes to the cart, and retreives a garbage can! He sets the can on the mat, and then lifts Steele to his feet. DDT onto the garbage can! Now, Storm gets to the top rope, with the trash can in hand. He sets the can under his leg, and then delivers a leg drop with the trash can! Wow. I've done that a hundred times. Hey, but Steele is bleeding. There's a high spot to this match. Now, Storm rolls onto Steele! 1....2...Kickout by Steele! How much longer can he stay on defense!? Storm now goes to the cart, and then tosses it into the center of the ring! He pulls James Steele to his feet, and then lifts him into a powerbomb! Wait, he's started spinning. He drives him into the side of the cart, WITH A FOLDOUT POWERBOMB!!! COVER AGAIN...1....2...KICOUT BY STEELE!!!

Jade: No! How much longer will this thing go on!? I gotta take care of this.

*He drops his headset, and then runs to ring.*

Clint: Jade has left for the ring, fans! He hops into the ring, and then knees Will Storm in the groin! Now, he grabs Steele, and drags him to the corner. He goes to the outside, and then locks on a figure four around the ringpost! I think I heard something crack. Wait...

*CRACK!!!*

Clint: There we go! Jade, satisfied with himself, leaves the ring! Now, Storm gets up, and he grabs that towel from the corner of the ring! What is this? He sets it over James Steele's body! Wait, we've passed the ten minute mark! You know what this means! BULLS!!!

*A buzzer sounds, and then, from a huge cage at ringside, a bull leaps out. It sees the red towel, and then charges straight at Steele!!*

Clint: OH MY GOD!!! STEELE MUST BE BROKEN IN HALF!!! Cover by Storm...1....2....3!!!!!! Will Storm wins his re-match with James Steele!

*"The God That Failed" starts up again, and Will Storm slowly gets to his feet. He raises both arms above his head. The camera returns to the newsdesk.*

Bernie: Sheet, yo, that was off da hook!

Clint: Or very close to it, I suppose. Anyway, right now fans, we've gotta go to the back. I understand that we've got some recorded comments from Jonas Testament. Let's go to the back!*

*The camera moves to the back, where we see Jonas sitting alone. Hunched over in his chair, he slowly brings his head up, revealing the scars there. On his lap sits the Crown Of Thorns.*

Testament: The time has come and gone, Chaos. You, my friend, are on the verge of your own destruction. As you teeter on the brink of collapse and failure, several questions must pop onto your head: How do I deal with the Harvester of Sorrow? Will he choose to break my spine, ending my miserable career, or will he allow ,e to return to my home, to my pit of decadence? Valid questions, Chaos, because this is going to be a dangerous match. Wal-Mart. The center of the shopping world. The mecca of sin and shame. In a few short minutes, we'll be there, fighting for our very lives. Rest assured, Chaos, this is not a match I am going to lose. I'm prepared to do whatever is necessary to see this through, and I'm certain you know this. However, are you willing to take these same measures? The last time we met, you were hurtled off of a scaffold, and through two roofed cages. What will it take this time? The fact is, friend, you are marching into your own obliteration. And all for what? This Crown? It's worthless. The end, Chaos. This is what all this is about for me. The end of your career. The end of mine? Hmm, who knows? Possibly. The end, friend. It's near...

*The camera then returns to Jade, Clint, and Bernard.*

Clint: Some very chillingly cryptic words from Jonas Testament. How far do you think he's willing to take this thing, just to win?

Jade: Well, I mean, last month, he killed someone. A few weeks ago, he broke a chair in half over a guy's head. He tosses Chaos through two cages. The questions isn't how far will he go, but, really, how many weapons will they let him get his hands on.

Clint: Good analysis, Jade.

Bernie: Yo, that nigga be crazy, ya'll! This gonna be a loony-ass match, yo!

Clint: More shining words of wisdom from the Ebonics-Ninja. Well fans, we've still got four title matches for you tonight, including our next one, featuring Hardcore Jones and Matt Allen in a bout for the Triple Entente title! But, really, this is more than a fight for gold. This is all about the group that these two re-formed a month ago, NC-17.

Jade: Ah, who cares about TV-14? The bottom line is, these two are enemies of The Organization, and they're about to go tooth-and-nail! Keep in mind, Hardcore Jones is going to wrestle twice tonight. He's gonna be a lot more worn out than Slade and CarMichael during the Tag Title match.

Clint: Let's go to a special montage, showing the history between these two wrestlers.

*Slowly, "Civil War" by Guns ‘N Roses starts up, and then the shot changes to a picture of the OWA. It features Matt Allen and Hardcore Jones in the ring. After several seconds, it changes to a different one: Jones, Allen, and Hardcore Jay in the ring together, at "Needful Things." Then, the three renegades battling it out with The Organization. It shows them in backstage interviews, talking about NC-17. Then, it changes. Allen is in the ring with Ciarin Kade, on the verge of a loss. Then, Jones comes to the ring, and DDT's Kade. Allen covers, and wins the Triple Entente title. Jones raises the hand of Allen, and then suddenly hits a DDT onto him. Next, it shows the match they had for the title, on December 20th, with Jones winning the belt. Finally, it ends with a split-screen shot of both men, each of them with the Triple Entente title in hand.*

Clint: Fans, this shindig is about to get started! Let's go to the ring, where we're about to get underway!

*"Highway To Hell" by AC/DC starts up, and Matt Allen appears from the back. He walks to the ring with a chain wrapped around his fist. He enters the ring, and slowly paces around on the mat. He unwraps and wraps the chain from his hand, as he waits for Jones.

Suddenly, "Blind" by KoRn starts up, and Hardcore Jones emerges from behind the curtain. With the Triple Entente title around his waist, and a chair in his hand, he slowly steps aside to the entranceway. Yelling to the fans, they seem confused with him. They don't whether to cheer or boo. At any rate, Jones enters the ring, and then tears off his belt as the music fades out, and the bell rings.*

Clint: Here we go ,and Jones starts things off with a kick to the gut of Allen! He backs him into a the corner, and then starts to stomp away at his former friend! Jones is acting like an animal! Vicious kicks to the gut! He's ripping Allen apart! Now, he backs off, and then starts to play to the fans. Turning back around, he's met with a quick clothesline by Allen! "Mr. Main Event" leaps up, and then starts to stomp at the fallen champion! This is just a straight-up brawl!

Jade: Well, here goes Allen, as he pulls Jones to his feet. He lifts him into a vertical suplex, and then drops him right in the center of the ring! Allen quickly leaps to the top rope, and then floats down with a guillotine legdrop! He covers...1...2...Kickout by Jones! We almost had a new Triple Entente champion right there! Allen is back up, and he chops away at the chest of Jones! He's backing him into the corner with brutal knife- edge chops! Say it with me now: Whoo!

Crowd: Whoo!

Bernie: Damn, boy, that was tight! You got dese fans drinking out of the palm of yo hand, yo!

Clint: That's eating, idiot!

Bernie: Either or, yo.

Jade: Back to the action, Allen nails a solid Japanese Arm Drag, sending Jones onto his back! Allen at his side now, and he's strangling the life out of Jones! Allen looks like a man possessed! Now, he kicks Jones, sending him to the outside! This is about to get messy, boys! Jones is running, and Allen is after him! Jones grabs a chair, and then rolls back into the ring. As Allen gets inside, Jones nails him over the back with the chair! Thundering chair shot by Hardcore Jones!

Clint: This is exactly Matt Allen wanted to avoid. He needed to keep this in the ring, as a strictly wrestling match! Rather than using tables and pipes, he should've stuck with arm bars and suplexes, until he could nail the Main Event Frog Splash!

Jade: At any rate, Jones is beating the Hell out of Allen with that steel chair! Jones now sets the chair down on the mat, and then lifts to his feet Allen! He whips him into the ropes, and looks to be trying a back bodydrop onto the chair! No, Allen now with a kick to the face of Jones!! Oh, that was brutal!! Allen now has that chair, and he wedges it in between the turnbuckles. He pulls Jones to the opposite corner, and then whips Jones into the chair!! The Triple Entente champion's back just bounced off of that steel chair!! Cold, unforgiving steel!

Clint: Man, you're starting to sound like Rether now! Jones is pulled to his feet again, and he's whipped into the ropes. Matt Allen with a spinning heel kick! What a move! Allen is on fire now, and he picks up Jones! He sends him over the top rope, and then bounces off the ropes. Oh, a somersault plancha onto Jones!! Allen is lighting up things here! Allen grabs Jones, and then whips him over the guard railing, into the crowd! Things are set to get ugly here! Allen leaps onto the railing, and then nails a frankensteiner onto Jones in the middle of the crowd!! What a maneuver!!

Bernie: Phat, yo!

Jade: Just shut up! Christ! Now, Allen is getting up, albeit very slowly! Jones is still down! Allen sends Jones over the guard rail, and back to the ringside area! Allen goes under the ring, and then finds a table! This is about to get crazy! Allen sets up the table at ringside, and then rolls Jones onto the table! What is Allen thinking!? Allen back in the ring, and he climbs onto the top rope! He raises both arms, and then leaps at the table with a spalsh, but JONES MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!! ALLEN JUST FLEW THROUGH THAT TABLE!! Both men are down now! Jones and Allen look as though they just went through a train wreck! However, Jones is the first to his feet, and he rolls Allen back into the ring! He gets another table from under the ring, throws it over the top rope, and then rolls into the ring after Allen! Jones sets the table diagonally on the turnbuckle now, and looks to be trying something huge!!

Clint: Jones pulls Allen to his feet, and now lifts him onto his shoulders! Jones has Allen in a fireman's carry, and then DROPS ALLEN WITH A DEATH VALLEY BOMB THROUGH THE TABLE!!! COVER BY JONES...1...2...KICKOUT MY ALLEN!!! How did he manage to kick out of that move!? Jones looks shocked! Now, he pulls him to his feet, and sets Allen on the top rope! What is Jones gonna try here!? Jones is up on top, and he looks to be trying for a superplex! Wait, Allen blocks it, and Jones now tries again! Allen again counters, and then sets up Jones for a move! Allen rises, and then nails a TOP ROPE FRONT BRAINBUSTER!! What a move by Allen!

Jade: That was nice! Look at this! Allen stands on the top rope, and then raises both arms. He nails a Main Event Frog Splash! Main Event Frog Splash by Matt Allen!! Cover by Allen...1...2...Kick out by Hardcore Jones! Hardcore Jones kicked out of Allen's finisher! Allen looks mad now, and he grabs that chair from the corner of the ring! Chair shot to the head of Jones! That was brutal! Matt Allen pulls Jones to his feet now, and then sets him up for a vertical suplex. No, he leaves him hanging in the suplex position! Now, he drops him into a facebuster!! What a combo by Matt Allen! He gets the chair again, and then sets it on top of the fallen champion's head! Things are looking bad for Hardcore Jones right now! Allen bounces off of the ropes, and then nails an elbowdrop onto the chair! Jones's is ripped wide open! Blood is running from his forehead! Allen sets that chair across his chest, and then climbs to the top rope once more! Looks like he's gonna try for another Main Event Frog Splash! He's wasting time with unnecessary showboating, though!

Clint: Look who's talking! The king of showboating! But, you're right. Jones is getting up, and Allen is too pre-occupied with the fans to notice! Jones pulls out the leg of Allen, and "Mr. Main Event" lands hard on the top rope! That must've hurt like Hell! Jones grabs that chair from the corner, and then tosses it to Allen! Allen catches the chair, and then Jones hits a drop kick onto the chair, which bounces off of Matt's head!! What a move by Hardcore Jones! The Triple Entente champion goes under the ring again, and then finds another table! Allen is still hurt on the top rope! Jones gets the table legs out, and then sets it in front of the top rope! He stands on top of the table, and then runs his thumb across his throat! Looks as if he's going for the kill right now! Jones climbs to the top rope, and stands in front of Allen! He gets him in a front waist lock, and then nails a TOP ROPE BELLY-TP-BELLY SUPLEX THROUGH THAT TABLE!!!! THAT'S INSANE!!!

Fans: EGWA!! EGWA!! EGWA!!

Bernie: Cripes, yo! That must've broken his neck, ya'll!

Jade: Good Lord! I gotta admit, I'm liking this! Jones rolls over slowly, and then covers Allen...1...2...Kick out by Allen!! No, how did he manage to kick out of that!? Jones looks really surprised, and then rolls out of the ring again! He gets a fourth table out from under the ring, and then sets it up once more in the corner of the ring! He rolls Allen on top of the table, and then climbs up as well! Jones lifts up Allen, and then hits a RE-VOLT THROUGH THAT TABLE!!!! MATT ALLEN'S NECK MUST BE BROKEN!!! Cover by Jones again...1...2....3!!! Hardcore Jones has retained his Triple Entente title after one of the hardest-fought battles of both men's careers!

*"Blind" starts up again, and Hardcore Jones rises from the rubble of the table. He shakes his head, and then helps Allen to his feet! He raises his hand, and then Allen looks at him. Jones smiles, and then suddenly jerks him around into a DDT. Jones laughs, and then picks up the Triple Entente title. He holds it in front of Allen's face, mocking him, and then leaves the ring. The shot returns to Clint, Jade, and Bernie.*

Clint: Well fans, what a great match-up! I must say, that was one of the best Entente title matches in a while! Hardcore Jones proves that he can do it without the rest of NC- 17!

Jade: Well, yeah, congratulations to Jones. However, the real winner in all this is The Organization! This is just divide and conquer, baby! NC-17 is on the verge of collapse already! This just strengthens the seeds of dissent in NC-17!

Bernie: Yeah, yo, and that's good for us! Word!

Clint: Well, Jade, was that enough to impress you?

Jade: I gotta admit, that was a great match. Much better than that deadbeat Steele, believe you me.

Clint: Well, if you liked that one, you're gonna absolutely love this action! Next up, it's gonna be the first-ever "Bad Ass Rookie Bash," with the winner receiving a Triple Entente title shot at the next EGWA Monday Night card! However, first, we're gonna get some words from one-half of the Tag Team Champions, Lance Slade!

Jade: Here's one guy who can shoot!

Clint: Take it away Richard Thorton!

*The shot changes to an expensive leather sofa. Stretched out royally is "The Spectacle" Lance Slade. He wears a blue silk shirt and a pair of khakis. Richard Thorton is across from him, on a wooden stool.*

Richard: Well, Lance, thank you for joining me for an exclusive interview. First off, why did you and fellow Organization member attack Justin Carmichael?

Slade: President Palm is getting things back to the way they used to be. From now on, if a guy doesn't pull his weight, he's gonna be injured! That's the way it is! The viscous way we used to do business is back.

Richard: Obviously, this leaves a gaping hole in not only The Organization ranks, but also in the tag team champions, Rich And Famous. Who will be taking the place of Justin Carmichael this evening?

Slade: You think I'm gonna tell you that, peon!? The fact is, everyone knows this guy, but they won't find out who it is until tonight. You, DICK, are going to have to wait, like everyone else.

Richard: Okay, I didn't mean anything by it, Lance. Please, sit down.

Slade: How about I re-

*Suddenly, Hardcore Jones and Jay, collectively known as the Hardcore Playas, break into the room. Jay slams a trash can into the head of Slade, and then Jones starts to kick away at Lance. In the arena, the fans go nuts. They then pick him up, and then toss him head-first into the Organization's mirror. It shatters around his head.*

Clint: Good Lord! Shouldn't you be helping him, Jade!?

Jade: Well...uh...Kade's back there. I'm here on official business! Yes, that's it!

Clint: Uh huh. Right. Fans, let's get the next match down to business, baby! It's the huge "Bad Ass Rookie Bash!"

Get "Nightmares And Dreamscapes" Part Two!
