Chase Cassidy: Hey--
Joey Styles: The winner of this match will advance to the finals of the ECW Tag Team Tournament...a shot at the gold at ECW's first pay per view, Barely Legal!
::"More Than You Are" by Grinspoon plays and Joey Matthews and Christian York walk out on stage. They get booed all the way to the ring, arguing with the fans::
Joey Styles: What has gotten into Matthews and York?
Chase Cassidy: I'll tell you what's gotten into them! The FANS have gotten into them. They've finally realized, with help from Cyrus of course, that the fans don't matter. The fans don't make you, the fans can't break you, so they don't matter.
Joey Styles: I'll have to disagree with you on that, but whatever has happened, they've changed and the fans don't like it to say the least.
::Christian York and Shane Helms start the match off. They circle each other in the ring, then York calls for a test of strength, putting his right arm high in the air.

He drives his knee into the ribs of Helms several times before Helms can get up. Helms rushes at York and York tries for a tiltawhirl, but Helms manages to pull off a flying head scissors!

Shane Helms quickly tags in Shannon Moore as Christian York gets in the ring. Moore takes out both Matthews and York with clotheslines, then throws them both to the outside. He bounces off the ropes, then flips over them with a senton nailing Matthews and York on the outside!::
Joey Styles: Shannon Moore is on fire! He just took out both Joey Matthews and Christian York with a huge senton!
Chase Cassidy: Is that legal?
Joey Styles: Yes, of course!
Chase Cassidy: Just testing you Joseph...
Joey Styles: Sure..
::Moore takes Matthews back into the ring and goes for the cover. 1...2...Joey Matthews kicks out! Matthews sends Moore off the ropes, and Moore comes back with a flying tornado ddt planting Joey Matthews! 1...2...Christian York breaks the count. Moore knocks York out of the ring. As Shannon Moore pulls Matthews to his feet, York gets back on the apron with a chair in hand. Moore puts his leg on the back of Joey's head and goes for his finisher. Matthews pushes him off and whips him into the ropes. CRACK! York nails Moore in the back of the head with the chair, then tosses the chair into the ring to Matthews. Joey Matthews chucks the chair halfway across the ring, nailing Shane Helms in his corner and knocking him to the floor. York gets in the ring and the two whip Moore off the ropes. They hit their double hiptoss powerbomb, the Future Shock, on the chair. Matthews covers Moore...1...2...3!::
Chase Cassidy: Woohoo! Joey Matthews and Christian York advance to the finals of the tournament!
Joey Styles: Yeah, but barely! Shannon Moore had it won when that chair was interjected by Christian York.
Chase Cassidy: They still won, nonetheless...Cyrus will be pleased!
::Backstage...Dawn Marie is standing by with Taylor Matheney. Dawn Marie reads off a clipboard...::
Dawn Marie: Taylor, two weeks ago you had a confirmation with Ivory...
::Someone off camera whispers at Dawn::
Dawn Marie: That’s what I said! Two weeks ago you had a confrontation with Ivory in the ring and you pinned her. What are your feelings about that?
Taylor: Well, Ivory is one of the greatest female wrestlers in the business, so I have so much respect for her. What it all comes down to is that business is business. I have no harsh feelings towards Ivory. I’ve looked up to her for years and I’m so glad that I got the chance to wrestle with her here in ECW...
::Dawn’s head slowly turns toward the camera and a huge grin comes across her face as she stares into it. She fixes her hair a little then bounces, giggling softly. Taylor gets quiet and stares at Dawn as she blows a kiss to the camera::
Taylor: Ah hem! Again, I have so much respect for her and what she’s accomplished in her career–
::A steel chair flies across the room and almost hits Taylor, instead it smashes into the wall with a loud crash! Dawn Marie looks across the room, drops the microphone, and disappears. Taylor looks on in fright as Rhino comes into view, coming towards her with another chair. He gets close enough and swings at her but she ducks and then runs off::
Rhino: RESPECT DON’T MEAN NOTHIN’ ANYMORE!!
::Commentator’s position...::
Joey Styles: What the hell was that for!? Rhino had no reason to do that! What the hell is wrong with him!?
Chase Cassidy: Okay, I admit it...that was a little uncalled-for, but–
Joey Styles: A LITTLE!? That was A LITTLE uncalled-for!?
Chase Cassidy: Rhino is a beast! What else can I say?
::"Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck" by Grinspoon hits and Justin Credible comes out to hundreds of people booing. He gives them the "suck it" sign on the stage, then makes his way to the ring::
::"Scapegoat" by Fear Factory blares through speakers throughout the arena and Jerry Lynn comes out to a tremendous ovation. He gets in the ring a poses for the fans on the second turnbuckle. Justin Credible grabs him by the hair and throws him backwards onto the canvas::
Joey Styles: Oh come on! That wasn't necessary!
Chase Cassidy: You've got to start the match somehow Joseph...that was a perfect opportunity.
Joey Styles: This match is in the tournament to crown the first ever ECW Intercontinental Champion. This title is Paul Heyman's way of saying "Screw You WWF" and I think it's a great idea...
Chase Cassidy: I don't! I think it's very unprofessional, let alone completely COPYING the WWF's idea for the title.
Joey Styles: Oh yeah, because the WWF has never stolen, I mean copied, anything from ECW.
::Justin Credible stomps on Jerry Lynn as he's lying on the mat. He pulls Lynn to his feet and starts punching away. He backs Lynn into the corner and stomps him down to the canvas. Credible turns around and taunts the fans. Lynn grabs the second turnbuckle trying to pull himself up, but Credible comes over and grabs his legs. He lifts Jerry Lynn up and drops him with a sitdown powerbomb into a pin...1...2...Jerry Lynn kicks out! Credible goes to the outside and throws a chair into the ring. He pulls a table out from under the ring and brings it back in with him. Credible props the table up in the corner of the ring and turns around. Lynn tosses the chair to Credible and then goes for the Van Daminator, but Credible ducks it. Lynn turns around and CRACK! Credible nails him hard with he chair. Justin Credible pushes Jerry Lynn back so he's leaning against the table, then goes to the opposite corner of the ring. Credible runs at Lynn, but Lynn grabs the chair and throws it into Credible's face! Credible stumbles around a bit, then back towards Lynn who hiptosses him right through the table!! "E-C-Dub! E-C-Dub!" chants come from the crowd::
Joey Styles: What a move by Jerry Lynn!
Chase Cassidy: Sure, you talk about Lynn's move, but you say nothing when Justin Credible hits a move. I see how it is Joseph...I see how it is.
Joey Styles: Oh do you now?
Chase Cassidy: Yes, that's what I said.
Joey Styles: In any case, Justin Credible just went through that table. If Jerry Lynn could make the cover right now, this match could be over!
Chase Cassidy: BUT he can't make the cover...because Justin Credible took too much out of him with that vicious chairshot!
::Lynn crawls over to Credible and covers him...1...2...NO! Justin Credible gets his foot on the rope! Both men get to their feet and Lynn kicks Credible in the stomach. He picks him up looking for the cradle piledriver, but Credible gets his feet back on the ground. Credible goes for a back body drop, but Lynn lands on his feet! Lynn bounces off the ropes and comes back nailing Credible with a tornado ddt! Lynn pulls himself to the top turnbuckle and sits, waiting for Credible to get up. Once he does, Lynn jumps off the second turnbuckle and bulldogs Credible into the mat! 1...2...Credible kicks out! Lance Storm comes down to the ring and hops on the ring apron. Lynn throws the chair to him, then nails the Van Daminator, knocking him to the floor! Lynn turns around and Justin Credible lifts him up looking for That's Incredible. Jerry Lynn reverses it and drives Credible's head into the mat with a variation of the cradle piledriver!::
Joey Styles: ONE! TWO! THREE! Jerry Lynn does it!
Chase Cassidy: Oh great...
Joey Styles: Jerry Lynn will wrestle for the Intercontinental Title at ECW Barely Legal!
Chase Cassidy: Now the Intercontinental Title match at the ppv won't be worth watching...
Joey Styles: I think it'll be a great match!
Chase Cassidy: Oh come on Joseph...Jerry Lynn versus Super Crazy versus Stevie Richards? Please...
::Cyrus’ Office...Cyrus, Joey Matthews, Christian York, and Rhino are celebrating::
Cyrus: What can I say? What can I say? The Office is stronger than ever, and I couldn’t be any prouder! Joey Matthews...Christian York...congratulations to you two...our soon to be ECW Tag Team Champions! We’re with the Office you know!
::Cyrus pulls a bottle of champagne out from under his desk and tries to pop the top off of it::
Cyrus: Oh...that’s right. I don’t drink! My personal assistant must have gotten us sparkling grape juice! I have the brass you know!
::They laugh as Cyrus unscrews the cap and pours the grape juice into their glasses. BAM! Kurt Angle shoves the door open and Cyrus jumps, spilling the juice all over his desk and his suit::
Kurt Angle: What is wrong with this!? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS!?
::Kurt shoves the program for the show into Cyrus’s hands. Cyrus looks at it, then looks up::
Kurt Angle: Yeah...uh huh...it’s damn true!
Cyrus: Umm...
Kurt Angle: What is wrong with this company!? Look at that card! Pardon my language...but that card is crap! Do you think that kind of crap will draw fans? I DON’T THINK SO MISTER! Where is everyone’s Olympic Hero!?
Cyrus: Let me check...
Kurt Angle: He’s not on there! Oh no, he’s not on there! It’s true, it’s true! The biggest name in your little company isn’t even on the card! That’s just great! Why am I NOT on there? The people want to see their Olympic Hero!
Cyrus: Well Kurt...
Kurt Angle: The people are demanding their Olympic Hero...I’m telling you, they’re going to demand a refund when they find out I’m not going to bless them with my presence...it’s true...there’s no denying it!
Cyrus: Kurt let me tell you something...I’m with the Office dammit! Don’t worry, the people will get what they want! My Olympic Hero will be...IN THE MAIN EVENT TONIGHT!
Kurt Angle: Oh it’s true...and what’s with this alcohol all over the place? This is starting to remind me of the WWF...you all should be ashamed of yourselves. This is a family show! Families want to watch their Olympic Hero and here you inebriated people are...shame, shame...
::Kurt Angle walks out before Cyrus can explain that it’s sparkling grape juice::
Joey Styles: ...Sparkling grape juice? I bet Cyrus just couldn’t afford champagne with all the money he’s bribing Rhino, Matthews, and York with to protect him.
Chase Cassidy: Pish posh Joseph! Cyrus is a respectable man! He’s got kids looking up to him all around the world. He’s a role model! I think it’s great that he doesn’t consume alcoholic beverages!
Joey Styles: Yeah, well you think anything Cyrus does is great...
Chase Cassidy: Your point would be what exactly?
::"Man In A Box" by Alice in Chains hits and the fans go crazy for the Innovator of Violence, Tommy Dreamer. As Dreamer makes his way to the ring, X-Pac runs out and attacks him from behind with a steel chair! Dreamer falls to the floor in the aisle and X-Pac kicks him a bunch of times in the ribs with the fans booing. He pulls Dreamer up and sends him headfirst into the steel steps. The referee yells at X-Pac to get it in the ring, but he ignores this. X-Pac whips Dreamer down the way into the steel guard rails, then charges at him. He goes for a flying spinkick, but Dreamer ducks down and X-Pac flies into the crowd. Dreamer hops the barricade and attacks X-Pac with punches in the crowd. They brawl all the way through the first section of fans to where the barricades for hockey games are set up. X-Pac jumps onto the hockey barricades and leaps off toward Dreamer. Dreamer catches X-Pac on his shoulders and drops him with the Spicolli Driver on the concrete floor! The fans go crazy chanting "E-C-Dub! E-C-Dub!" over and over again::
Chase Cassidy: I can't believe this! Tommy Dreamer is a sick, sick man! He's trying to end the career of young X-Pac! This is horrible!
Joey Styles: Oh, and X-Pac attack Dreamer from behind with that chair wasn't sick?
Chase Cassidy: No Joseph...that's called STRATEGY...
::Dreamer brings X-Pac back towards the ring. He hiptosses X-Pac over the guard rails and X-Pac lands on a chair! Dreamer climbs over the guard rails and poses over X-Pac for the fans. He rolls X-Pac into the ring and makes the cover...1...2...X-Pac kicks out! Dreamer pulls X-Pac to his feet and sends him off the ropes with an Irishwhip. X-Pac comes running back and Dreamer kicks him in the stomach going for a ddt. X-Pac pushes him off. Dreamer bounces off the ropes and comes back only to be nails with a stiff spinning heel kick! X-Pac pulls Dreamer into the corner and goes across the ring. He runs at Dreamer and rides him with the Bronco Buster. X-Pac makes the cover...1...2...Dreamer kicks out! X-Pac goes to the outside and brings some barbed wire back into the ring with him! He sets it down in the middle of the ring and waits for Dreamer to get up. Once Dreamer gets to his feet, X-Pac kicks him in the stomach and drives his face into the barbed wire with the X-Factor! X-Pac rolls onto Dreamer and hooks the leg...::
Joey Styles: OH MY GOD! Right on that barbed wire! ONE!
Chase Cassidy: TWO!
Joey Styles: NO! NO! Tommy Dreamer kicked out of the X-Factor onto that barbed wire!
Chase Cassidy: HE DID WHAT!?
Joey Styles: HE KICKED OUT! He kicked out! I can't believe it!
Chase Cassidy: That must have been a slow count by the referee! No one kicks out of the X-Factor! We need a new referee! Send this one back to the factory!
Joey Styles: Oh no...Tommy Dreamer is busted wide open...he's bleeding everywhere! This is sick!
::X-Pac goes to the top rope as Dreamer gets to his feet, and Dreamer grabs him by the hair. Dreamer yells to the fans, then throws X-Pac off the top turnbuckle onto the barbed wire! X-Pac quickly gets up, holding his back in pain. Dreamer kicks him in the stomach and ddts him on the barbed wire! "E-C-Dub! E-C-DUB!" He makes the cover...1...2...3!::
Joey Styles: Tommy Dreamer has done it! Dreamer advances in the ECW Title Tournament!
Chase Cassidy: Ugh...this tournament is looking worse and worse Joseph!
::In the dark parking lot...Raven is seen leaning up against a black car...::
Raven: Congratulations Tommy...congratulations on your big win tonight. I know our past here in ECW has been quite odious...you...me...Tommy...we never saw eye to eye, and I doubt we ever will. But from the bottom of my blackened heart...congratulations. Before...before the resurrection of ECW...I never believed in the cliche "Time's Change", but Tommy...you've showed me that there may just be a sliver of truth to that. We'll see how long our alliance lasts because at Barely Legal...it could all come to an end. It would be a shame...wouldn't it Tommy? You and I both have the opportunity of becoming the first new ECW champion, the premier crop in this somewhat agricultural spectacle known as professional wrestling. Do you know what that means Tommy? DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!?!? That means that at Barely Legal, you and I could be fighting like gladiators to secure our spot in the annals of professional wrestling...you and I Tommy...you and I...we might meet each other in this tournament...who knows? You have your match with Rhino...I have mine with Christian. The winners will meet in what is likely to be one of the most hard fought battles EVER. Those winner...Tommy...THOSE WINNERS...well one of them could be YOU...and what about me? WHAT ABOUT RAVEN!? Well, one of them could be me too. To put it more bluntly, one of them WILL be me. You see, Christian stands no chance. What has he ever done? What has he ever accomplished? I'm a former ECW Champion...and Christian...Christian, he doesn't have what it takes to be in ECW. Whining, complaining, crying...bitching...that doesn't get you anywhere in ECW. Christian will fall at the feet of the savior of ECW...Quoth the Raven...NEVER...
::Christian comes up behind Raven, grabs him by the hair, and SMACK! He drives Raven's head right into the hood of the car Raven was standing by. Christian rolls Raven onto the hood of the car and follows him up there::
Christian: I don't have what it takes? You're telling me that...I DON'T HAVE WHAT IT TAKES!? What about you!? YOU'RE NOTHING ANYMORE! You're nothing! I'm everything! EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING!
::Christian pulls Raven's head off the hood by his hair, then drives it three times back down, denting the hood::
Christian: WHAT ABOUT ME!? WHAT ABOUT CHRISTIAN!?
::Christian pulls Raven to his feet and takes him up on top of the car. He hooks Raven's arms and drops him with the Unprettier. CRASH! Raven's head goes right through the glass windshield of the car::
Christian: We'll see who doesn't have what it takes at Barely Legal, won't we? Won't WE!? WON'T WE!?
::Tommy Dreamer and Stevie Richards come running out into the parking lot with medics and chase Christian away. The medics attend to Raven. They slowly put him onto a stretcher, revealing his face covered with the glossy crimson mask. Raven is loaded into an ambulance which pulls up and they take him off. Dreamer and Richards don't know what to do...::
Joey Styles: Christian has snapped...I can't believe what he did...
Chase Cassidy: Okay...I admit...that was going a little too far...
Joey Styles: A LITTLE!? He smashed Raven's face through a windshield! He could have killed the man!
Chase Cassidy: Christian has every right to be angry though! All that trash Raven was talking about him, I'd be upset too.
Joey Styles: Raven was just telling the truth. Christian doesn't exactly have a lot of experience when it comes to ECW.
Chase Cassidy: I guess we'll find out who the better man is at Barely Legal...
Joey Styles: If Raven is even in shape to compete at that time!
Chase Cassidy: Gee, it would be such a shame if Raven had to forfeit his spot in the tournament...wouldn’t it?
::"Playing God" by Reveille plays and Mikey Whipwreck appears on stage in a cloud of smoke. Closely behind him is the Sinister Minister, dressed in red as usual. They laugh hysterically on their way to the ring::
::"Sun Shining Down on Me" by Jackyl hits and E.Z. Money comes out with Chris Hamrick at his side. Money gets to the ring and does a little strip tease for the booing fans::
Joey Styles: I don't think these fans here enjoy E.Z. Money's dancing...
Chase Cassidy: What the hell is wrong with them!? They should be offering up some cash right about now!
Joey Styles: Well, why don't you go up there and give some to him?
Chase Cassidy: Well...I...uh...I just donated all of my money to a charitable organization. I'm broke...
Joey Styles: Sure Chase...sure...
::E.Z. Money attacks Whipwreck with a few punches, then whips him into the turnbuckles. He charges at Whipwreck who moves out of the way. Money runs chest first into the turnbuckles.

Money bounces off the other set of ropes and comes back. Whipwreck goes for a hurricanrana, but Money catches him. He powerbombs Mikey to the mat right on his neck. He drags Mikey over to the corner and starts choking him with his foot. The ref breaks the choke, but Money shoves him down, then goes back to choking Mikey. He finally walks away from Whipwreck and does a little bumping and grinding for the booing crowd. While Money is taunting the crowd, Chris Hamrick tries to choke Whipwreck in the corner from the outside. Mikey nails him in the mouth with a stiff back elbow and gets to his feet, rallying the fans behind him. E.Z. Money turns around and Mikey nails him with a dropkick.

Whipwreck grabs a chair hops rolls back into the ring. He springboards over the ropes and drops a leg on the chair driving it into E.Z. Money's skull!::
Joey Styles: What a move by Mikey Whipwreck!
Chase Cassidy: What a VICIOUS move by Mikey Whipwreck. He should be disqualified!
Joey Styles: We don't DQ people in ECW Chase...
Chase Cassidy: Better yet then, he should be fired! He's nothing but malicious!
Joey Styles: Chase, you always have such a...UNIQUE...point of view.
::Whipwreck pulls Money all the way out of the ring and drives him over the guard rails into the audience. Mikey gets on the ring apron and bounces off the middle rope with an Asai moonsault. E.Z. Money moves and Mikey hits the concrete hard. Money laughs at Whipwreck, gyrates a little, then quickly tosses him back over the guardrails and into the ring. Money waits on the ring apron as Whipwreck gets to his feet. E.Z. Money flips over the top rope and nails Whipwreck with the Money Clip nearly knocking Mikey out of his boots! 1...2...Mikey kicks out! On the outside, Chris Hamrick grabs a chair and hops onto the ring apron. Money whips Mikey toward Hamrick, but Mikey reverses it! Chris Hamrick accidentally nails E.Z. Money with the chair! Mikey catches Money with a small package! 1...2...no! Hamrick pulls the referee out of the ring! Hamrick clocks the referee with the chair as the fans scream obscenities at him. He rolls into the ring and nails Mikey with the chair as well. E.Z. Money and Chris Hamrick double team Whipwreck while he's down. All of a sudden, the Sinister Minister gets in the ring with his cane, and Tajiri runs out from the back. Tajiri attacks E.Z. Money as the Minister hits Chris Hamrick on the head with his cane, breaking it in two!::
Joey Styles: This match has turned into complete chaos!
Chase Cassidy: I can't believe that the Sinister Minister is getting involved! This is completely unfair!
Joey Styles: Oh shut up Chase! You don't complain when Hamrick interferes!
::The Sinister Minister shoots a fireball at Hamrick knocking him through the ropes!! The Sinister Minister goes to get the referee as Tajiri unloads on E.Z. Money with devastating kicks. Money turns around and Mikey nails the Whipper Snapper! He makes the cover but the referee isn't in the ring yet. Finally, the ref gets up and makes the count slowly...1...2...::
Joey Styles: NO! NO! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!?
Chase Cassidy: WOOHOO!
::Christian York and Joey Matthews run down and Matthews pulls the referee out of the ring stopping the count once again. York gets in the ring and throws Tajiri out towards Matthews. York kicks Whipwreck below the belt, and drops him with a hangman's neckbreaker. Matthews rolls the ref back in the ring and E.Z. Money makes the cover...1...2...3!::
Joey Styles: Oh no! I can't believe it! Mikey had it won several times!
Chase Cassidy: You win some...you lose some...
Joey Styles: He was screwed by four people! And what do Matthews and York have to do with this match!?
Chase Cassidy: Well, maybe they just wanted to start on Tajiri and Whipwreck a little early. The two teams will face each other in the finals of the Tag Tournament at Barely Legal. You need to think more before you speak Joey...jeez...
Joey Styles: Like you should be talking. Matthews and York had NOTHING to do with this match. There was no reason for them to come out and screw Whipwreck out of the T.V. Title...this is the epitome of a screw job!
::Backstage...Cyrus' Office::
Cyrus: I've got it! I've got it!
Rhino: What?
Cyrus: My Olympic Hero Kurt Angle was in here awhile ago and demanded a match. By golly, I with the Office you know! I've got it! Tonight, the main event will be...get this...Kurt Angle and Christian versus Stevie Richards and...
Rhino: And?
Cyrus: RAVEN! Hahaha! I'm a genius! Brilliant Cyrus, just BRILLIANT!
Rhino: But Raven isn't even here...
Cyrus: So?
Rhino: Christian took him out in the parking lot...they took him to the hospital...
Cyrus: My POINT exactly Rhino! MY POINT EXACTLY! HA HA! BRILLIANT!
::Rhino rubs his hands together and a smirk comes across his face...Cyrus continues laughing. The door to his office opens and in walks Josh Mathews::
Rhino: Don't you know how to knock!?
Cyrus: What do you want? You could at least knock! I'm with the Office you know! I HAVE THE BRASS!
::Cyrus holds up his name tag which is hung around his neck::
Josh Mathews: *point at Rhino* Who do you think you are? You think you're so tough? You think you're a badass? You think you're a badass because you can pick on women? I saw what you did to Taylor and I know you're nothing but an ass with a huge ego...and no, I'm not talking about you Cyrus.
Cyrus: HEY! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!? First you barge into my Office, and then you insult the Office's own man-beast Rhino!? I'm with the Office DAMMIT! And I think you just got yourself a match...you...whatever your name is...Get your gear on, your match is up next! Rhino's going to beat all over this arena and you'll NEVER step foot in this office again! GO! Don't make me kick you out myself!
Josh Mathews: I'd like to see you try! Oh, and thanks for the match...
::Josh laughs and leaves the office to go get his gear on. Cyrus holds Rhino back and tells him to wait for a couple of minutes until their match::
Joey Styles: WHAT A JERK!
Chase Cassidy: I know! How rude can a person be? Josh just barged right in like he owned the place, that little jerk.
Joey Styles: I wasn’t talking about Josh, I was talking about CYRUS!
Chase Cassidy: What did Cyrus do!?
Joey Styles: Cyrus made the main event for tonight and it’s basically going to be a handicapped match!
Chase Cassidy: No it’s not...it’s Raven and Richards versus Christian and Kurt Angle. How is that a handicapped match!? You’ve lost your mind Joseph.
Joey Styles: Raven is at the hospital! How can you compete if you’re at the hospital! Christian attacked him from behind like the coward he is and put him face first through the windshield of that Lincoln! There’s no way Raven can compete tonight.
Chase Cassidy: Cyrus is smart...what can I say?
Joey Styles: Smart isn’t the word for Cyrus. In any case, Stevie Richards may face the biggest challenge of his life tonight when he takes on Christian AND Kurt Angle BY HIMSELF, thanks to our WONDERFUL commissioner...Cyrus.
::"Sidekick" by Rancid hits and out comes Josh Mathews to a great ovation. He gives the fans in the first few rows high fives before sliding into the ring and posing on the turnbuckles::
Joey Styles: I hate to say this...but I think Josh has bitten off a little more than he can chew...
Chase Cassidy: He wanted the match, you could tell by the way he just walked into Cyrus' office without even KNOCKING!
Joey Styles: I know he wanted the match and he's standing up for something he believes in...
Chase Cassidy: Huh?
Joey Styles: Taylor...he's standing up for Taylor. You saw the way Rhino tried to scare her earlier! Josh wants to get some revenge for her.
Chase Cassidy: Women...
Joey Styles: Something you know nothing about...
Chase Cassidy: HEY!
::"Debonaire" by Dope blasts throughout the arena and Rhino walks out on stage, breathing heavily. The fans boo him as he makes his way to the ring, like he's stalking his prey. He pulls himself onto the ring apron and steps through the ropes. He climbs to the middle turnbuckle and raises his arms in the air, but the fans only boo him. He spits into the front row. Josh Mathews runs up from behind him and powerbombs him from the second rope! He quickly makes the cover...1...2...Rhino kicks out with ease. Rhino gets up and Josh nails him with three rights. They don't seem to effect Rhino much and Josh bounces off the ropes. He runs at Rhino who turns him inside out with a huge clothesline. Rhino pulls Josh up by his hair and whips him into the corner, following it up with a huge splash. He snapmares Josh over and drives his knee into Josh's spine. Rhino pulls Josh up again and bounces him off the ropes. He lifts Josh up with a gorilla press, and throws him out of the ring onto the concrete floor! Rhino raises his arms proudly into the air and the fans boo him some more. He goes to the outside and pulls Josh up. He clubs him on the back a few times, then throws him headfirst into the steel steps!::
Joey Styles: OH MY GOD! Josh's skull just connected with those ringsteps!
Chase Cassidy: It's sad to see, but Rhino sure is teaching Josh a lesson he'll NEVER forget...
::Rhino sepates the top steps from the bottom steps, and throws the top set into the ring. He also pulls a length of guard rail out from under the ring and slides that in as well as Josh. Rhino makes his way back into the ring slowly, knowing that Josh won't be getting up anytime soon. He pulls Josh to his feet and spits in his face, then slaps him. Josh starts to fight back with lefts and rights, and bounces off the ropes. Josh goes for a hurricanrana but Rhino has nothing to do with it, and powerbombs him to the mat. Rhino picks up the steps and waits for Josh to get up. Josh pulls himself to his feet using the ring ropes and turns around. WHAM! Rhino nails Josh with the steel steps, then goes for the cover! 1...2...NO! Rhino pulls Josh's shoulders up off the mat::
Joey Styles: OH COME ON! Just finish the poor kid off! There's no need for this!
::Rhino props one end of the guard rail in the ring on the edge of the steps he just hit Josh with. He pulls Josh up and bounces him off the ropes, then catches him with a spinebuster right onto the guardrail! Josh is lifeless as Rhino goes for the cover again...1...2...no! Rhino pulls Josh up again! He props Josh up in the corner and goes to the opposite side of the ring. Josh stumbles out and Rhino gores the hell out of him! 1...2...3!::
Joey Styles: Thank god it's over...
Chase Cassidy: Well, Josh will never forget that I guess.
Joey Styles: Yeah, if he regains conciousness sometime soon! Rhino was just merciless...he could have had it finished a long time ago! What a jerk, just like Cyrus!
::Taylor comes running down to the ring to check on Josh. She starts to pull him out of the ring, but Rhino reaches through the ropes and grabs her by the hair. He pulls her into the ring and kicks her in the stomach, looking for a piledriver. Tommy dreamer comes running down the aisle with a chair and chases Rhino away. He checks on Taylor and helps Josh to his feet::
Joey Styles: I'm glad Tommy Dreamer made the save here...I shudder to think what Rhino would have done to poor Taylor! He was going to piledrive her, and who knows if it would have stopped there!
Chase Cassidy: She would have gotten what she deserved! Tommy Dreamer is just trying to get the respect of these idiotic fans!
Joey Styles: Tommy Dreamer is just being a nice guy and didn't want to see Rhino do to Taylor what he had just done to Josh.
Chase Cassidy: Either way, they deserve it.
Joey Styles: Neither of them have ever done anything to you Chase!
Chase Cassidy: So? Josh was rude to Cyrus, and I'm offended by that.
Joey Styles: Give me a break...
::In the restroom...Al Snow is relieving himself, and Head is sitting on top of the urinal::
Al Snow: Hey, stop it. Would you knock that off? Stop looking at me you freak!
::Al zips his pants up and grabs Head, then goes to wash his hands::
Al Snow: No, we’re not booked tonight.
::Silence::
Al Snow: WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME!? I’m not in charge of the shows!
::Al glares at Head::
Al Snow: And no, we’re not booked for Barely Legal, and NO, I don’t know why. Probably because you ask too many questions!
::Al looks at Head, and then looks offended::
Al Snow: Of course it’s not me! It’s got to be you. What do they have to not like about me!? You’re the one who’s so weird and anal retentive...don’t blame me.
::A minute goes by and then Al looks surprised::
Al Snow: You want to challenge ME to a match!? You’re challenging me to a match? No, I don’t accept. What is wrong with you? Don’t be jealous because I’m the pretty one.
::Al looks a way from Head for a few seconds, then snaps back quickly::
Al Snow: What? What was that? ...Fine, don’t tell me. Secrets don’t make friends you know! What? You don’t want to be my friend!? I’m hurt! How dare you! How could you!? Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful...besides, you have lots of assets too. You’re the brains you know. Yes...I forgive you...
::Al Snow starts to walk away, then looks back at Head who is still sitting on the counter near the sink::
Al Snow: Well aren’t you coming? FINE...I have to do everything myself, don’t I?
::Al goes back, grabs head, then leaves::
Joey Styles: Something isn't right with him...
Chase Cassidy: I think there's a lot that isn't right with him Joseph. He talks to a mannequin head for God's sake!
Joey Styles: Well, whether Al Snow's elevator goes all the way to the top or not, he's a great wrestler.
Chase Cassidy: He's a lunatic! Did you hear him!? He think he's the pretty one!
