[EPW Aggression returns as the announcers are discussing amongst themselves.]

DT: At Wrestleverse we saw Frankie Scott tangle with Omega in a Barb on a Pole match, which was, to say the least, an entertaining match.

MN: After having to deal with that nutjob Omega and his obsession with that Barb, I think Frankie is due for some great things!

DM: And I think he's certainly going to get that chance tonight.

DT: Yes he is. Frankie Scott is about to get a chance at capturing EPW gold, in our next match for the Television Title!

["Phenomenon" by Thousand Foot Krutch. The fans give a resounding chorus of boos as Frankie Scott makes his way to the ring.]

TF: The following match is scheduled for ONE FALL... and is an EMPIRE PRO WRESTLING TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH! Making his way to the ring at this time, the CHALLENGER! From Atlanta, Georgia... he weighs in at TWO HUNDRED FORTY-TWO pounds... the PHENOMENAL... FRRAAANNKIIIIEEE SSSCOOOTTTT!

MN: "Phenomenal" personified!

DM: He'll have to be just that, if he wants to take the EPW Television Title from Fusenshoff.

MN: Don't go putting it all on Frankie. He's got nothing to lose here, and EPW gold to gain! Frankie is going to show all these dimwits what a true Champion should be.

[Scott jumps on the apron and leaps over the ropes, ascending a turnbuckle and looking confidently out at the crowd.]

DT: Frankie Scott has shown a renewed focus of late...

["Wherever I May Roam" by Metallica sends the crowd to their feet and cheering like mad!]

DT: But this Television Champion is a tall task for ANY wrestler today!

TF: And now introducing... from Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada... he weighs in at TWO HUNDRED SIXTY-THREE pounds... accompanied to the ring by STALKER! He is the TWO-TIME EPW TELEVISION CHAMPION! FFFUUUUUUSSSEENNNSSSSHHOOOOOFFF!

"And the road becomes my bride,
I am stripped of all but pride.
So in her I do confide
and she keeps me satisfied.
Gives me all I need."

[Fusenshoff steps out wearing his black leather jacket and wife beater, black jeans and boots. The Television Title is held over his shoulder as he walks to the ring, staring only at the ring. Stalker follows out behind him.]

"And my ties are severed clean.
The less I have the more I gain.
Off the beaten path I reign.
Rover wand'rer nomad vagabond
call me what you will...."

[Stalker remains around the ringside area as Fusenshoff makes his way up the steps, entering the ring and handing the Television Title to the referee. As Frankie Scott looks at the Television Title, being held up in the air by the referee, popping the crowd, Fusenshoff leans his head on a turnbuckle.]

MN: Give me a break with all this no-frills BS Fusenshoff does. It's all about showing what you've got, and Frankie Scott will soon have that TV Title to give the "Phenomenal" treatment!

DM: Fusenshoff and Scott do seem to be opposites in that regard. Frankie is a little more flashy at times, while Fusenshoff is all business. This should be a good one.

DT: I agree, and it seems as if both men are ready to get this Television Title match underway!

[Bell rings.]

DT: And away we go, as Frankie Scott wastes no time! He comes head-on at Fusenshoff with a series of strikes, taking Fusenshoff off guard... backing him into the ropes... irish whip by Frankie, but Fusenshoff regains his bearings and ducks under a Clothesline attempt on the return! Bounce back off the ropes... but a DROPKICK by the challenger sends Fuse down!

DM: A soundly executed move if I ever saw one.

DT: Frankie is right on Fusenshoff with strikes, but the Champion shoves him off and regains a vertical base. Frankie Scott bounces off the ropes and lands a boot to the knee of Fusenshoff, sending him off balance.... Frankie off the ropes again, Fusenshoff whiffs on a big boot... Frankie takes out the leg on the return! And now the challenger is back on that leg, putting the Champion into a grapevine....

MN: There's all the focus you need! Frankie's locked in, no doubt.

DM: He does look fully focused, and is off to a good start.

DT: Fusenshoff trying to WRENCH his leg free.... and SUCCEEDING! Pure strength from the Champion right here.... Frankie releases the hold though, and lands a stiff kick to the leg of Fusenshoff!

DM: Sound strategy here. Take a man's leg out, and cut his mobility in half.

MN: That drunkard is constantly half-impaired as it is! Frankie's going to roll to the title!

DT: Fusenshoff is up to his feet, but Frankie immediately locks up.... headlock by Scott, but Fusenshoff with quick jabs to counter... Frankie breaks the hold and Fusenshoff locks him up... now he puts the headlock on Frankie... but the challenger lifts up the Champion and hits the back drop! Fusenshoff laid on his back momentarily, and Frankie mounts him to... no! Fusenshoff didn't give him a chance, socking him in the face and sending Frankie Scott staggering back! Fusenshoff with a rear waistlock, going for a suplex perhaps?

MN: Frankie blocked it!

DT: Frankie Scott with a reversal and... GERMAN SUPLEX! Frankie Scott hits the German Suplex on Fusenshoff, and holds on... a SECOND German Suplex... AND A THIRD!

DM: Frankie Scott is certainly looking to make a statement here tonight, as he covers....

ONE!

TWO!

DT: Kickout by Fusenshoff! And to me there's no doubt, Frankie Scott is stepping up. He's making it clear he wants to claim EPW gold, tonight!

MN: Just like I said! You guys are just slow to realize the obvious.

DM: Or we just respect the current Champion.

MN: That's a whole different problem.

DM: Oh please.

DT: I think Fusenshoff has certainly earned the respect of the EPW locker room, having always dutifully defended the Television Title. Fusenshoff up to his feet and met with another lock-up from Scott... Frankie with a suplex attempt, but it's blocked! Frankie tries again... blocked once more! Fusenshoff with the knees to the stomach of Frankie... and breaks the tie-up... only to charge in with a Clothesline! Frankie goes down, but pops back up.... and is met with a hard right, now another that sends him stumbling towards the ropes!

DM: Now Fusenshoff is starting to get into HIS game...

MN: Funny, I don't remember us suddenly warping into a bar.

DM: Fusenshoff is more geared towards power and brawling... oh, you know what I mean!

DT: Frankie Scott has been battered into a corner, and Fusenshoff is looking to turn things around... closing in and sending Frankie to the opposite corner with an irish whip... now charging in and... MISSING the splash! Frankie managed to roll along the ropes out of the corner... and he lands a kick, sending the Television Champion back into the corner! Fusenshoff reeling as he receives two more kicks to the knee, and Frankie now lifts Fusenshoff up to the top turnbuckle!

DM: High risk for Frankie here, but what a statement he'd make by hitting a move here!

MN: Frankie's going to go Phenomenal on Fusenshoff right here!

DT: Frankie steps up to the second turnbuckle and lands a pair of rights to Fusenshoff's head... ascends to the TOP turnbuckle now.... BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPERPLEX?!?

DM: Fuse is fighting it!

DT: Yes he is... Fusenshoff striking Frankie square on the head.... but he isn't knocking Frankie off the top! The challenger fighting back with a right hand... Fusenshoff with a right... it's a top rope battle!

DM: Someone's going to pay dearly....

MN: Let's hope it's Fusenshoff!

DT: Frankie nearly knocked Fusenshoff back and OFF the top rope! But Fuse grabbed Frankie and.... MY LORD!

[Fusenshoff falls from the top, and grabs Frankie Scott just as he's going! Both men plunge.... but Fusenshoff gets a hand on the top rope! Crowd POPS at Frankie's fall!]

DT: FRANKIE SCOTT FALLS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND INTO THE GUARD RAIL!

DM: Fusenshoff fell to the floor, but he had a moment to brace for it by getting a grip on the top rope just long enough!

CROWD: E-P-W! E-P-W! E-P-W! E-P-W!

MN: Listen to these idiots cheering... don't they realize their Phenomenal One could be hurt!

DM: I think it's one of those train wreck moments, Neels.

MN: Well someone call an ambulance for Frankie Scott!

DT: The referee has started the ten count as neither of these two are showing signs. But after that, I wouldn't blame either one of these men if they're unable to continue!

[The referee begins the count.]

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

DT: FUSENSHOFF is moving! He's rolled onto his stomach....

FIVE!

SIX!

MN: Frankie too!

SEVEN!

DT: Fusenshoff is to his feet, and he rolls into the ring!

DM: I don't think Frankie Scott will make it!

EIGHT!

NINE!

DT: HE MADE IT! Frankie Scott showing his determination to win the EPW Television Title, as he gets back in the ring!

DM: That was a gut check for Frankie right there, and he passed.

MN: The sign of a true Champion!

DT: Don't forget Fuse made it back in first, Mike.

MN: Fuse who??

DM: No doubt, this would be a great time for Fusenshoff to finish this match. Frankie's got to still be feeling the effects of that fall.

DT: I think Fusenshoff realizes that, as he picks Frankie Scott up... irish whip... and a textbook POWERSLAM by the Champion! Here's a cover by Fusenshoff!

ONE!

TWO!

THR-- KICKOUT!

DM: Oh so close! Frankie Scott needs to pull himself together if he wants to have a chance, and that could be the start. Fusenshoff looks a bit frustrated.

MN: He can't put away something this Phenomenal so easily!

DT: Fusenshoff lands shots to the face of Frankie, backing him up.... irish whip sends Frankie off the ropes... but a big boot fails! Frankie comes back with a bulldog on Fuse, sending him to the mat! Frankie Scott gets back to his feet, as does Fuse... but Frankie hits a Japanese arm drag! Fusenshoff back up but Frankie hits him with a boot... then an irish whip sends Fuse to the ropes... he ducks under a Clothesline... BIG spinning leg lariat by the Television Champion! Frankie goes back to the mat!

DM: What a shot! Fusenshoff hits hard, and that was a perfect example.

DT: He wastes little time in making a cover....

ONE!


TWO!


THREE! NO!!

DT: Frankie Scott JUST kicks out, REFUSING to stay down for the three!

MN: Frankie fights on!

DM: He is showing some great resilience in this match. Fusenshoff has to start pulling out all the stops here.

DT: I think he might have shared your thoughts, because it looks like he's going for the Whiskey Bomb right here! He has Frankie up... but it's fought! Frankie Scott gets out of the attempted Whiskey Bomb, and goes off the ropes... BOTH men with clotheslines, knocking each other down!

DM: As good as pushing the reset button....

MN: No way... I say Frankie's about to short circuit Fusenshoff!

DT: Both men getting to their feet... Fusenshoff up first... but the challenger ROCKS the Champion with a HARD FOREARM to the jaw as he was getting up! Frankie to his feet and wastes no time... grabs Fusenshoff and... DDT! He just PLANTED the Television Champion with that DDT!

DM: Fusenshoff better watch out... momentum's building for the challenger!

MN: He's getting a lesson in Phenomenal performance!

DT: Frankie Scott is looking to go to the top rope again here... Fusenshoff is still down... can Frankie make amends for the previous top rope incident, and cash in here??

DM: If he does, we might have a new Television Champion tonight!

DT: Frankie Scott is on the top rope, and HE LEAPS!

.....

.....and HITS THE ELBOW DROP ON FUSENSHOFF! FRANKIE SCOTT HITS!

DM: What a move!

MN: Just pin him now, Frankie! This is OVER!

DT: Pinfall attempt by Frankie.... COULD WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION?!

ONE!


TWO!


THREENO! NO!


DT: FUSENSHOFF KICKED OUT!

DM: JUST BARELY!

DT: Frankie Scott looked to have the pinfall and Teleivsion Title secured, but SOMEHOW Fusenshoff kicked out!

MN: I PROTEST THAT COUNT!

DM: Nothing to do but keep going on with the match!

DT: Yes, and despite being a bit upset, Frankie Scott does just that! It looks like he's going for a submission.... Sharpshooter! He's trying to get it locked in... AND HE DOES IT! The Challenger with a Sharpshooter locked in on the Champion!

DM: Now it's gut check time for Fusenshoff!

MN: TAAAP!

DT: Stalker looks concerned about the way this match is going, and is DEMANDING that Fusenshoff get to the ropes!

DM: Frankie didn't check where he was, it seems... because Fusenshoff wasn't that far from the ropes to begin with, and he's gotten close enough to reach for them now....

DT: Fusenshoff GRABS the bottom rope! The referee tells Frankie Scott he has to break the hold, and Frankie complies after an extra moment of keeping it on.

DM: With how Frankie's been targeting the leg of Fusenshoff this match, it would have been perfect had he locked on the Sharpshooter in the middle of the ring.

MN: He's still got things under control!

DT: That's true, as the challenger lands a couple more boots to the leg of Fusenshoff for good measure. The Champion gets to his feet... but Frankie comes off the ropes with a springboard bulldog! AND HITS!

MN: He's not done yet!

DT: You're right, as Frankie bounces off the ropes... ROLLING SENTON SPLASH! Another big move from Frankie Scott... and a pinfall attempt here!


ONE!


TWO!


THREE!

DT: WAIT! NO! Fusenshoff JUST KICKED OUT AGAIN!

DM: He's certainly cutting it close! I wonder if he's got much left to give...

MN: Can't be long now for crowning a new Champion!

DT: It does look as if Fuse is being taxed here. Frankie Scott is putting on a TON of pressure for the Champion to deal with... and look at Stalker! He's SCREAMING at Fusenshoff as Frankie Scott just called for the Phenom Drop!

DM: I think he senses Fusenshoff might not be coming back this time!

DT: Fusenshoff is slow to his feet... and Frankie helps him up... setting him up!

MN: PHENOM DROP!

DM: FUSENSHOFF COUNTERS!

DT: CRADLE PIN BY FUSENSHOFF!


ONE!


TWO!


DM: FRANKIE ROLLED THROUGH!


ONE!


TWO!


DT: ANOTHER COUNTER BY FUSENSHOFF!


ONE!


TWO!


THREE!!!


DT: FUSENSHOFF WINS IT! HE RETAINS THE TELEVISION TITLE!

[Bell rings.]

TF: The winner of the match... and STIIIILL Empire Pro Wrestling TELEVISION CHAMPION! FFFUUUUUUSSSEENNNSSSSHHOOOOOFFF!

DM: The Television Champion went for a counter, almost got countered right out of his title, and then countered one more time to retain! What a series and what a match!

MN: Frankie almost took the Television Title to Phenomenal places!

DT: He came so close, on MULTIPLE occasions... but in the end, it was just a counter too much for Frankie Scott, who falls short tonight against Fusenshoff.

DM: I have to admit, Frankie Scott was very impressive tonight. He put on quite a performance, from bell to bell, and was resilient in his bid for EPW gold. This isn't a time to be discouraged if you're Frankie Scott.

MN: He's got to stay hungry and try again!

DT: Frankie Scott has battled back before, and if he continues to, then I'm sure he'll get another title shot in the future. Fans, we'll be right back with more EPW Aggression action!
