DT: Folks we’re back, and unfortunately we have some bad news regarding Troy Douglas. Apparently, the former Intercontinental Champion has suffered a neck injury of some sort. While in commercial, paramedics came to the ring and braced Douglas’ neck, then we had an ambulance come down the entrance ramp and saw him loaded up and taken away to the hospital. It didn’t look good at all.

DM: Well our thoughts will certainly be with Troy Douglas and I certainly hope he makes a full recovery.

[FADEIN: A shot of the crowd as the bell rings to get everyone's attention.]

TF: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN...The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL...And it is for...THE E! P! DOUBLE-U! WORLD! HEAVYWEIGHTTTTT CHAMPIONSHIP!!! 

[Crowd pops]

[MUSIC UP: "Happy Birthday" by The Birthday Massacre, EPW Edit, the crowd begins buzzing and then finally pops huge as The First walks out from behind the curtain into a purple spotlight. The First is shirtless, wearing black gi pants, black wrestling boots, he's wearing black lipstick with his face painted white and a black X slashed across his eyes and cheekbones. First's hair is black with blotches of purple. His right hand is taped up almost halfway to the elbow with a black Ankh drawn on it]

DT: Thanks to the actions of Ryoko and Lindsay Troy, there will be nobody at ringside tonight, tonight The First walks alone into battle, no Felix Red, no Ryoko, no Gotho...Everything is upon the shoulders of The First...

[The First gets to the ring and hops over the top rope, landing on the second rope inside the ring where he he raises his arms and screams at the crowd, who pop loudly in response.]

DT: The First soaking in this moment, this crowd crowd is electric!

MN: Like the Patriots soaked in the moment before the Bears broken them in half and had the Fridge rub it in their faces. Like the Chargers before Steve Young and Jerry Rice tore them to pieces...All this punk is, is a lamb, and he's about to be slaughtered!

[The music fades out, the crowd buzzes, some start booing, and the finally the lights dim]

VOICE: AND THE PROPHECY READ THAT ONE DAY, LIKE THE PHOENIX THAT ROSE FROM THE ASHES, THAT A BOY WOULD BE BORN UNTO A FAMILY IN THE SLUMS!"

CUT TO: EMPIRE-tron. …as several images flash starting with an up-close photo of a blue-eyed baby – crawling, playing football, and basketball … things that babies generally do.

"THIS BOY WOULD GO ON TO USE THE KNOWLEDGE HE GAINED, WHILE FIGHTING FOR SURVIVAL IN THE STREETS TO BECOME A GREAT LEADER!"

CUT TO: Several more images. The first was an older Sean Stevens, in amateur wrestling gear; in a cap and gown – signifying graduation. The scene then shifted to Sean in the audience, in what looked to be a wrestling arena, before cutting to the final image of Sean, in the middle of a death defying leap from a forty-foot high camera tower, as his foe – below – laid unconscious.

"AND IN TIME, THAT BOY WOULD GROW TO BECOME .... a KING!"

[The Empiretron and the whole arena go dark for a beat...Then MUSIC UP: "King Back" by TI. "Triple X" Sean Stevens walks out on the stand as MASSIVE PYRO goes off, blasting blue streams in an "X" pattern as Stevens stands at the top of the ramp looking smug. Stevens is wearing black wrestling boots, black tights with a blue "X" on each leg and one on the seat of the tights. He's rocking a new EPW "Finisher" line T-Shirt in black with a pair of piercing blue eyes balefully staring out, above the eyes is a crown in gold with three X's upon it. Stevens begins to swagger to the ring, EPW World Title Belt strapped around his waist, and a custom pair of Ray Ban Sunglasses that may have run five figures covering his eyes. Stevens steps into the ring and goes to all 4 corners, soaking in boos everytime he throws his arms up at the crowd.]

DT: The champion, brimming with confidence, he harbors no fear of The First, he most likely has no respect for him, Triple X has made it clear, tonight is nothing more then an object lesson for the rest of EPW, do not cross him or this will happen to you.

MN: And it's going to be brutal, this kid hasn't been in the wars like the champ, he doesn't know what he's gotten himself into, this will be Sean Stevens night to shine!

[The bell rings]

TF: Introducing first...[Tony gets a bit of a puzzled look on his face as he says that and then continues.] THE CHALLENGER...He hails from SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS and weighs in at 207 POUNDS...He is one half of the EPW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!...THE FIIIRRRRSSSTTTTT!!!!

{The First raises his arms to a cheer from the crowd, he's pacing back and forth, Stevens stands across the ring arms crossed over his chest, almost like a statue.]

TF: And his opponent...He hails from ORLANDO, FLORIDA...He weighs in at 241 POUNDS...He is the ONLY TWO TIME...EPW WORLD CHAMPION...And is the REIGNING...DEFENDING...E! P! W! WORLD! HEAVYWEIGHT! CHAMPION!!!! "TRIPLE X"...SEEEEAAAANNNN!!! STEVE!!!!! VANNNNNNNSSSSS!!!!!!!!

[Stevens still doesn't move, continuing to smile smugly at The First as the crowd boos, Stevens finally deigns to take off his sunglasses and T-Shirt, handing them to a ringside attendant, he continues to wear the EPW World Title around his waist.]

DT: Stevens showing no reguard for The First what-so-ever...Senior offical Pat Jones now having to coax Stevens into removing the EPW World Title Belt...[Stevens finally takes the belt off, we can hear him telling Jones "Don't let him touch it...He doesn't deserve it"] Jones now showing the belt to The First who almost recoils from it, who knows what kinds of superstitions he's got going on in that mind of his. 

MN: He should be struck blind for even looking at the title...

DT: Pat Jones now holding aloft the title these two men will be fighting over...He finally hands to the time keeper...Jones backing both men away from each other...

[Bell Rings] 

DT: And here we go! Stevens and First lock up and Stevens powers The First into the corner...Ref calling for a clean break and Stevens gives him one...

MN: See, he knows he doesn't need to take any advantages, he knows he can win this on the up and up...

DT: They lock up again and Stevens again backs him into a corner...Another clean break...NO! {Crowd buzzing] STEVENS JUST SLAPPED THE FIRST!

DM: The disrespect leading up to this match was clear, and now Stevens just made it official that he has nothing but disgust towards The First.

DT: Stevens ducks a wild right hand by The First and now hammers him to the body. Stevens sends him to the ropes...BACK BODY DROP! PEFECTLY TIMED UP BY STEVENS! THE FIRST SENT SAILING! First back to his feet and Stevens sends him back into the ropes...HUGE CLOTHESLINE! BIG TIME IMPACT FROM THE CHAMP!

MN: I told you from the start this was a complete mismatch...Stevens is going to prove it...This match lasts only so long as Stevens wants it to...

{Stevens yelling "Get up Brian...Get up!"]

DT: Stevens now imploring The First to get to his feet...First up and wobbly legged...RUNNING FOREARM BY STEVENS! he just SMASHED The First with that shot and The First is flat on his face in the the ring.

DM: Clearly the champion's game plan has been to just unload with all the high impact moves he came up with early to take the challenger out quickly!

MN: And notice he's not calling this idiot by his gothtard name...He's calling him Brian...That'll be his name when he's making my coffee at starbucks next week when he's run out of this company on a rail!

DT: Stevens now has The First...He hooks him up...POWER BOMB!!!! OH MAN!!!! THAT COULD BE ALL!! Stevens now raising his arms to the crowd, soaking in the boos...Stevens now walking over to a corner and now waiting for The First to get to his feet...I think he's going for the X-Factor!

DM: After his total domination up to this point, if he did land the X-Factor that would make quite the statement win for the champion...

DT: Stevens just waiting on the First now...First to his feet...STEVENS COMING WITH THE X-FACTOR...FIRST SIDESTEPS! Stevens misses! First hammering away with HUGE RIGHTS! Stevens rocked...DROPKICK BY THE FIRST FLOORS STEVENS! Stevens gets to his feet and charges...INTO A ARMDRAG! He comes at The First again...ANOTHER ARM DRAG! Stevens back up and First cracks him with a right hand! Stevens staggers to the ropes...FIRST CLOTHESLINES HIM OVER THE TOP TO THE FLOOR!

MN: Unreal...C'mon Stevens, get your head in the game!

DT: Referee Pat Jones keeping The First in the ring as Stevens is out on the floor and he is irate! He can't believe this has happened.

DM: Stevens clearly thought he could dominate The First and he's just been proven wrong.

DT: Stevens now back on the apron, demanding The First back off as he re-enters the ring. Stevens back in now and he grabs The First in a side headlock and quickly takes him to the mat. Stevens leaning on The First, putting all his weight on him.

DM: If the high impact stuff wasn't working it might be time to slow this fight down and try to grind down The First...Who hasn't had many singles matches in his EPW career.

MN: He can't go the distance with a machine like Trip...He'll be sucking wind and begging for momma at the half hour mark!

DT: First now fighting to his feet, he's battling to get back up and he does...First with a series of elbows into the gut of Stevens breaks the hold...First off the ropes...RIGHT INTO A BIG KNEE FROM STEVENS! First down again and Stevens quickly on top of him witth a rear chinlock. 

MN: It might not be pretty, it might not get all these idiot kids in the crowd excited, but this is effective wrestling, this jumping flipping guy can't do anything if he's gassed out.

DT: First again trying to get back to his feet...First back to his feet...Stevens gives him a knee in the back and then shoves him face first into the turnbuckle! Stevens now spins The First around and drives a series of shoulders into the mid-section of the challenger...Stevens whips The First HARD into the corner...The First slumps in the corner as Stevens walks over and kicks him in the stomach, and again!

MN: Forget pinning this freak, tap him out!!!

DT: Stevens cranking on The First's neck...wrenching back, trying to force the challenge for the EPW World Title to quit...

[Stevens can be heard screaming "TAP BRIAN!! TAP OUT!"]

DT: Stevens continuing the bad mouth on The First as he's inching his way closer to the ropes...This crowd cheering, yelling, doing all they can to motivate The First as he's fighting his way over...

DM: Even if The First does make the ropes, how much damage till be done from this hold? Stevens has it sunk in deep! 

DT: The First struggling...He's almost there...HE'S MADE THE ROPES!!! 

[Crowd pops!]

DT: Stevens hanging on for the full four seconds before breaking it and now he's getting in Pat Jones face over what, I couldn't tell you...The First has fallen to the floor...Stevens now going outside after him...Stevens pulls The First to his feet and SLAMS his face into the STEEL steps...The First on dream street and now DRIVEN into the STEEL post! First is face down on the floor...Stevens scoops him up...DRIVES HIM SPINE FIRST INTO THE RING POST! AND AGAIN! 

MN: Not only is he busted open, but he also may have a broken back!

DT: You are right about that, First is bleeding currently and Stevens has just dominated to this point in the match...Stevens now going over by the time keeper...What's he doing...He's got the EPW World Title Belt...He's waiting on The First to get up...

MN: Hey it's outside the ring, anything goes...

DT: Well not according to Pat Jones who's gone outside the ring and taken the World Title Belt away from Stevens....Stevens doesn't seem to be putting up to much resistance about this...Wait! Jones is busy handing the belt to the timekeeper, Triple X just grabbed a steel chair and charges at The First...FIRST DROPKICKS THE CHAIR INTO THE CHAMPION'S FACE!!!

MN: DQ! RING THE BELL! HE CHEATED!!!

DT: Stevens plan backfires! First now back to his feet and he grabs Triple X and BANGS his head off the apron...AND INTO THE RING POST! Stevens staggers back INTO A FOOTSWEEP! Stevens lands HARD on the floor! First dragging the champion along the floor...Now he gets into the ring...First off the ropes...OH LORD A SWANTON BOMB JUMPING OVER THE TOP ROPE TO THE FLOOR!!!!

Stevens counters out...HE'S GOT FIRST UP!!!! X-TERMINATOR!!! X-TERMINATOR!!! HE HIT IT!! HE HIT IT!!!

DT: Pat Jones taking time with the ten count, he knows this crowd wants to see a winner in this contest. Both men struggling to get to their feet after that devastating move...The First and Stevens crawling towards the ring, both men rolling themselves into the ring...This battle continues...

MN: What right does Jones have slowing down the count, this should have been a double count out and Trip should have his belt!

TF: Here is your winner and STILL EPW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!! TRIPLE X!!! SEAN!!! STEVENS!!!!!!

[More boos as Stevens, face covers in blood and mist continues backing up the apron, holding the belt aloft. The First still in the ring, seething, he kicks the bottom rope in anger.]

DT: Triple X has retained the title, but what a battle it was...What a night of action this has been, thank you all for joining us and we will see you next time on Aggression!

[Camera cuts between shots of Stevens on top of the ramp now strapping his belt back around his waist, and The First on the second rope in the ring glaring at him...The First yells "This isn't over" at Stevens...Stevens pats the EPW World Title Belt and smiles "You can't beat me." then raises his arms in the air]

[FADEOUT]
