[FADEIN: A wide shot of the crowd in the arena. MUSIC UP: "Eat The Rich" by Fozzy and the crowd explodes!]
DT: Listen to this crowd! They are PUMPED UP as the former EPW World Champion is getting ready to make his way to the ring!
[JA steps on the ramp, the crowd cheering BIG. JA stands wearing a navy blue mask with lightning bolts on either side. Long navy blue tights with lightning bolts on them and white wrestling boots. Lollipop stands beside him, wearing a low cut blue top and a pair of faded blue jeans. JA throws his arms into the air, sending a massive wave of pyro through the arena!]
TF: The Following contesting is set for one fall and it is a non-title match! Introducing first, hailing from Philadelphia Pennsylvania, weighing in at 218 pounds...The Former EPW World Heavyweight Champion!!!! JAAAAYYYYYYY....AAAAAYYYYEEEE!!!!
[Crowd continues cheering as JA slaps hands with the fans and makes his way onto the ring apron.]
DT: JA, has hit a bit of a rough patch as of late, but right now he can turn that all around, he can show the world he's among the elite in this business still...
MN: Gimme a break, this guy has been beaten from pillar to post by everyone in this company, he gets a charity case non title match and you're acting like he's still got it, unreal.
DM: JA may have had a hard time of things as of late, but he does hold a win over Sean Stevens and that was a win that captured the EPW World Title for JA.
MN: And France was a military powerhouse back in the day...It means nothing in the here and now.
DM: JA now in the ring as he awaits the champion.
[JA's music fades out...After a few moments, the lights dim in the arena.]
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."
CUT TO: The very last image. One of "Triple X" Sean Stevens in the center of the ring, being handed a crown, tired, sweaty, yet triumphant.
[MUSIC UP: "King Back" By TI as the crowd begins booing loud..."Triple X" Sean Stevens steps onto the rampway, he's shirtless, wearing black tights with blue X's on the legs and seat...The EPW World Title belt around his waist, and a pair of Mark Jacobs shades covering his baby blue eyes. Stevens talks a few steps before standing, arms crossed on the rampway as a massive burst of pyro goes off.]
TF: And his opponent! He hails from Orlando Florida, weighing in at 240 pounds...The only two-time EPW World Heavyweight Champion and the Reigning...EPW World Heavyweight Champion..."TRIPLE X!!!" SEAN!! STEVENS!! [The crowd boos LOUD for Stevens as he enters the ring. Stevens doesn't even react to the crowd and merely gets to the business ot taking of his belt and sunglasses and handing them to somebody at ringside.]
MN: Ha! He wouldn't even let the ref or JA anywhere near the belt! He knows this is just a waste of his time,
DT: You don't think anyone on the roster is worth Stevens time do you?
MN: I'll have to think about it.
[Bell rings]
DT: And we're underway here. JA quickly charges in and pops Stevens with a right hand and another! JA hammering the champion, backing him into the ropes, sends him to the other side and a DROPKICK on the BUTTON Stevens down and JA quickly dives on top for a cover!
ONE!
TWO!
NO!
DT: Only two and Stevens gets out quick JA continues to hound the champion, backing him into a corner...[Loud slap] AND A BIG CHOP [Crowd woos] Another [Woo] JA just WEARING OUT the Champion with the chops...Stevens sent to the other corner...He hits hard and staggers out...JA grabs him...BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! THE COVER!
ONE!
TWO!
NO!
MN: He attacked him before the bell! something's off here! How the hell is JA beating up the champ like this!
DT: JA is one of the best, and he's clearly bringing the A game here tonight...Stevens struggling to his feet as JA catches him...BACK SUPLEX JA now going to the outside...He may try to finish things right here!
DM: JA has a wide array of moves that can end a match, and this impending Frog Splash is one of them.
DT: JA OFF THE TOP!! STEVENS GETS UP THE KNEES! He had the Frog Splash well scouted, JA clutching at his stomach in agony while laying on the mat.
MN: I knew Stevens was just playing possum, he suckered JA in the whole way.
DT: Stevens now up and stomping away on JA. Stevens gets JA into a seated position and now hammerlocks the left arm of The Anglo Luchador...JA fighting to his feet as Stevens cranks that hold and now throws JA shoulder first into the turnbuckle!
DM: So many of JA's moves require having power in the upper body to use, taking out JA's arm will really limit his offense.
DT: Stevens with a armdrag puts JA back down and once again CRANKS the arm...He's really pulling back on that shoulder and elbow...Stevens now LEGDROPS the arm of JA! JA gets to his feet quickly holding that injured left arm close to his body. Stevens now striking away with jabs to the masked face of the former champ!
MN: And notice how the champ is circling such that he's opening up the left side of JA's body, where he can't use that injured arm to defend himself, smart smart tactics by the champ!
DT: I have to agree with you there...JA throws a kick with his left leg, but Stevens catches it...Footsweeps the other leg and now drives a BIG ELBOW right into the chest of JA...A cover!
ONE!
TWO!
NO!
DT: JA kicks out but gets put right back into an armbar by the champion. Stevens wrenching back on the arm of JA, who fights to his feet...JA backs Stevens into a corner...JA with a series of knees to the midsection of the champion..Stevens thrown into the corner...JA now firing away with right hands...JA sends Stevens into the ropes...BACKDROP! NO! STEVENS CATCHES JA WITH A SINGLE ARM DDT!!

DT: JA howling in agony as he holds that left arm...Stevens with a cover!
ONE!
TWO!
NO!
DT: Again JA fights out of it and again he gets armbarred for his troubles...Stevens continuing to work that shoulder...JA gets up and turns into Stevens and lands a knee to the gut, Another knee...JA with a HIPTOSS breaks the armbar.
MN: But the damage is done! Even with that mask on you can see the pain in JA's eyes!
DT: JA holding that injured arm close to his body...Stevens gets up and eats a quick series of right hands...JA whips Stevens into the ropes...RUNNING KNEE LIFT FLOORS THE CHAMPION!
DM: JA having to use different tactics then he normally would with his arm in it's current condition.
DT: Stevens back to his feet but he's dazed as JA rocks the champion with a series of right hands. JA with a kick to the gut doubles over Stevens...JA WITH A ROLLING NECKBREAKER!
DM: I don't know if he got everything on that hold with his bad arm, but he did send Triple X down to the mat hard!
DT: Stevens being dragged back up by JA, who's got him...SIDE RUSSIAN LEGSWEEP! JA FLOATS OVER FOR A COVER!
ONE!
TWO!
NO!
DT: Stevens escapes at two and a half! JA now stalking him...Waiting on Stevens to get up...Stevens to his feet...JA FROM BEHIND LOCKS IN THE LEONARD NIMOY SPECIAL!

DT: Stevens fighting the hold for all he's worth...JA LETS GO! That arm gave on him! Stevens grabs him...PULLS HIM INTO A SHORT ARM CLOTHESLINE!
MN: All that work on the arm early in the match paid off big time there, JA couldn't keep that bum arm locked in on the hold.
DT: Stevens now pulling JA up by the mask...Stevens lifts up JA...SHOULDERBREAKER!!! Stevens with a quick cover!
ONE!
TWO!
TH-NO! NO!
DT: JA gets the right shoulder up just in time! Stevens is OUTRAGED and lets Pat Jones know how he feels about it...Stevens now walking away from JA and now he's setting up shop in the corner, he's waiting for JA to get up, I think he's going to try to end it with the X-Factor here!
MN: Turn his lights out! Show everyone that nobody on the roster can hold a candle to the champ!
DT: JA now to his feet...STEVENS CHARGES!!! X-FACTOR! NO! JA SIDESTEPS!! Stevens pulled up with the X-Factor cause he almost BEHEADED Pat Jones!
MN: TRIP TURN AROUND!
DT: JA WITH AN X-FACTOR!! STEVENS DUCKED!!! JA JUST CRACKED PAT JONES IN THE SKULL WITH THAT SUPERKICK!
MN: DQ! Throw the match out! What a cowardly act by a beaten man!
DT: You have to kidding me, he was clearly going for Stevens with that Superkick...Stevens and JA trading right hands...Stevens kicks at JA's bad left arm and that sends JA back into the ropes...STEVENS WITH A CLOTHESLINE SENDS THEM BOTH TO THE FLOOR!
DM: With the ref down and now both fighters on the outside, you have to think anything could happen!
DT: Stevens now grabs JA and WHIPS HIM INTO THE STEEL STEPS!!! [SFX: Loud crash!] He hit SHOULDER FIRST into those steps...
MN: The champ put out Rocko Daymon with a broken arm, I think he's about to do the same to JA...
DT: Stevens now throws JA back into the ring...Stevens giving some lip to the fans at ringside who are chewing him out...Stevens now back into the ring, standing over JA, soaking in the boos from this crowd...
MN: He's just got to wait for Jones to get up, then he'll dust off this bum!
DT: JA WITH A BALLTAP! HE JUST HIT STEVENS LOW! Stevens drops to his knees in agony...JA now up...He's dragging Stevens up...KARELIN DRIVER!!! GOOD LORD HE PLANTED STEVENS!!! JA cutching at his bad arm, but now he throws an arm across Trip's chest...Stevens is out! Wait...Pat Jones starting to stir.
DM: This is just like last time on Aggression, Stevens was out with no ref, the champ catching some breaks!
DT: This has to have been at least an 8 count...Jones is over...
ONE!!
TWO!!!
THR---NO! NO!
DT: Stevens gets a shoulder up! I can't believe it!
MN: I can, he can't be beat! Just accept it!
DT: He was already beaten! JA slowly getting to his feet...He's grabbing Stevens legs...He's going for the Walls!
DM: The question is, if he gets the hold, can he hang on to it with his bad arm?
DT: Stevens fighting tooth and nail to avoid being turned over...Stevens into the ropes, forcing a break...Pat Jones is groggy but he's still able to force a break...JA backs off as Stevens gets to the outside...
MN: Get your wits about you champ!
DT: Wait a second, Stevens just waved his arms in disgust at the ring, he's walking up the ramp...What is he doing?!
[Crowd starts booing as Stevens continues up the ramp, JA seems a bit confused as Pat Jones continues to count.]
DT: Is Stevens really just walking away from this match? This is insane!
[Pat Jones gets to 10 and calls for the bell, JA stands in the middle of the ring, hands on hips, shaking his head at Stevens.]
TF: Here is your winner by count-out...JJJJJAAAAAYYYYYY AAAAAYYYYYEEEEE!!!!!
[MUSIC UP: "Eat The Rich" by Fozzy as the crowd has a mixed reaction of boos for Stevens bailing out, and cheers for JA winning, as JA, with Lollipop now in the ring beside him, continues to look disgusted as Stevens stops halfway up the ramp and turns his head, smirking in JA's direction. "I smirk in your general direction!!"]
DT: What a disgusting display by the champion, he just quit on this match and walked out.
MN: Hey, look, sometimes it isn't worth your trouble, tonight was one of those nights.
DT: I do hope these two men meet again, I hope we settle between them once and for all...I really don't know what I can say about Sean Stevens except that his bailing on this match is a disgrace...And I hope the next time he runs into JA he gets what's coming to him!
[The camera shows JA in the ring, still moving around his injuried arm and glaring at the champion, while Stevens is actually stopped now - about halfway up the ramp.
Suddenly, the lights go out and the EMPIRETron flickers to life]
DT: Oh geez, what the HELL is happening now?!
MN: Stop touching my leg, Dean!
DM: ...I'm not, Mike.
MN: EEP!!
[Nine familiar figures appear on the EmpireTron.]
