[Fade into a shot of Tom Holzerman standing in front of the big screen, which is showing The Wraith and The Sergeant locked in a test of strength.]
TH: The TEAM Invitational Tournament ’08 kicks off, and there were a lot of laughers. But there were a few classic match ups in the first round too. No matter what the outcome, we’ve got all the highlights for you, so stay tuned. EPICENTER is next!
[Cue up "Down" by Stone Temple Pilots.
Cut to JASON PAYNE, shouting out in primal fury with a man's blood as his war paint.
Cut to ROCKO DAYMON whipping ULYSIS SOLIAN off the ropes.
Cut to RAVAGER rolling out of the way of a ROB FRANKLIN top rope headbutt.
Cut to MUNSON MONSOON tossing HIGH FLYER out of the FREE FOR ALL~! ring.
Cut to DAN RYAN hoisting the Merrit Trophy, then flash cut to NOVA with the Harvard Avalon Memorial Trophy held by his side, then flash cut to The A-List hoisting the Dupree Cup.
Cut to: The Epicenter logo once more, fading into Tom Holzerman and Steve Murray at the EPICENTER desk.]
TH: Hello everybody, and welcome to TEAM EPICENTER for the Los Angeles and London brackets of this tournament. I’m Tom Holzerman...
SM: And I’m Steve Murray.
[Cut to a close up of Murray with a Sergeant/Wraith inset behind him.]
SM: This is London’s fifth-seeded Sergeant’s third TEAM Invitational Tournament. In the last two, he was ousted in the first round, two years ago in a ring classic against James Irish, and last year in a laugher against Hoyt Williams. He’s looking to get off the schneid this year, but standing in his way is the twelfth seed, a 320 pound monster named The Wraith.
[Cut to the ring at Patrick Gym in Burlington, VT.]
SM V/O: Let’s take you to Vermont for the action, and Wraith overpowering the smaller Sarge early on in this match. Sarge initiates the test of strength, but this proves to be a bad idea. The A1E superstar clamps down and just forces the EPW Intercontinental Champion onto his back forcefully.
[Cut to Wraith with the Sergeant over his shoulder.]
SM V/O: Wraith continues to work that upper body, this time, pummeling Sarge with that shoulderbreaker. Absolutely devastating.
[Cut to Sarge running the ropes.]
SM V/O: Sarge makes a short-lived comeback in the early going, nailing Wraith with that big lariat. Giving away 100 pounds, you have to get some momentum behind that to send a man that size to the canvas.
[Cut to Wraith with Sarge corralled in a front facelock.]
SM V/O: Wraith coming right back though, haranguing Sarge here. Vertical suplex, and wait for it, wait for it, wait for it... impact! Delayed vertical with all the blood going to Sarge’s head.
[Cut to Sarge running the ropes again.]
SM V/O: Sarge with the late surge, making the comeback. Here he is with the flying cross-body, bringing the big man down off his feet.
[Cut to Sarge on the top rope.]
SM V/O: And here’s something you don’t see every day from the IC Champ. On the top rope and he wrangles the beastly Wraith with a swinging tornado DDT.
[Cut to Sarge behind Wraith.]
SM V/O: Sarge going for some Corrective Training, but Wraith POWERS out of it. A boot to the gut later, and Sarge is visiting Hell’s Pit (jackhammer). Wraith makes the cover, and he scores the upset victory over Sarge. The EPW IC Champ will have to wait another year to make it out of the first round. Tom?
[Cut to the same ring, Jonathan Marx and Eric Thompson grappling.]
TH V/O: Thanks Steve. Let’s stay in Vermont and go with the four/thirteen match in the London bracket, The Gentleman and the Richest SOB on the Planet. Thompson gets the upper hand early getting behind the NEW World Champion with the rear hammerlock and shoving him face first into the turnbuckle.
[Cut to Marx behind Thompson.]
TH V/O: Marx fires right back, back suplex and a beaut.
[Cut to Thompson grappling Marx.]
TH V/O: This was a real see-saw match. Thompson rolled out with the Northern Lights suplex that Marx needs two and three-quarters to kick out of.
[Cut to Marx whipping Thompson into the ropes.]
TH V/O: And Marx replied with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker.
[Cut to Marx with Thompson in an STF.]
TH V/O: In the end though, there would be no upset in this match. The Gentleman applies Marxism to Thompson, and the Richest SOB on the Planet will have to submit his monies to the proletariat as he taps out.
SM V/O: Did you think of that one by yourself?
TH V/O: Of course not.
[Cue up Led Zeppelin, “No Quarter.” Cut to Bryan Dawkins chopping Ice Tre and Tre selling it like he’s being shot.]
SM V/O: Coming up after the break, more action. Can the Flyin’ Hawaiian take out the only man in this tournament more blinged out than Flava Flav? We’ll find out next.
