[FADEIN: The broken broadcast table to the side of the announce team, who are all now at a makeshift fold out table next to the rubble created earlier in the night.]
DT: Fans while we were on break earlier following that big cage match, both Larry Tact and Anarky were stretchered off and taken to a near-by hospital. We will give you any updates we get on their condition, that was a scary, scary moment.
DM: Anarky's done a lot of crazy things in his career, but willingly throwing himself off a 15 foot high steel cage just to injure Larry Tact...Anarky may be going out of his mind.
MN: Maybe?! He tried to kill Larry Tact! He tried to kill himself! He tried to kill the three of us! He needs to spend a good long time in a rubber room.
DT: Not to mention, we have a new Television champion as we just saw moments ago.
DM: That’s huge. Fusenshoff has had a stranglehold on the belt for some time. But I think his encounter with Rocko Daymon earlier had a little bit of bearing on the title match.
DT: Well be that as it may, we do have a main event to get to.
[MUSIC UP: "Killing In The Name" by Rage Against The Machine. The Anthology video package begins playing on the EmpireTron as Cameron Cruise, IC Title around his waist makes his way out from behind the curtain, flanked by Jared Wells on his right. Wells with his EPW World Tag Team Title Belt over his shoulder. While Anthology's latest new signing, Sean Edmunds, is on Cruise's left. All three men look supremely confident and they begin to walk to the ring.]
TF: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN...This is the MAIN EVENT of the evening...A SIX MAN TAG TEAM MATCH...Set for ONE FALL....Introducing first...Weighing in at a combined weight of 736 pounds...Here is SEAN EDMUNDS...One half of the WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS...JARED WELLS...AND THE EPW INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION...CAMERON CRUISE...HERE...IS....ANNNNNNNN!! THALLLLLL!!!!!!!! OOOOO!!!!! GGGGGG!!!!!!!
[The crowd boos loudly as all three men get in the ring, soaking in the hatred of the crowd.]
MN: Look at them...The most powerful force in EPW today...The most powerful faction in Wrestling...Anthology, a unified front, I bet you won't be seeing the misfits they are fighting coming out as one.
DT: You may be right about this, Anthology's opponents in these situations have often been people with issues with each other, last week, Sean Stevens and The First managed to look past that to score a victory over Anthology.
MN: And it was a big mistake on Stevens part, that little freak nearly stole his belt before Stevens took it back!
DT: I don't think that was what was happening, but now Stevens is tagging with a man who will be fighting him for the EPW World Title on the next PPV, AND he's tagging with a man who COST him the World Title in a match with JA...It will be very interesting to see if they can work together.
MN: They can't...Stevens learned full well last week if you give any of these ingrates an inch they'll take a mile, no more free rides from the Champ!
[MUSIC UP: "Ladies and Gentlemen" by Saliva. Marcus Westcott stalks out onto the rampway with a scowl on his face...Westcott gets a mixed reaction from the crowd, some of whom seem to be cheering him just cause he's against Anthology...Westcott makes his way to ringside and starts pointing at Wells and Edmunds, Pat Jones tries to keep everyone apart from each other.]
DT: Marcus Westcott isn't backing down from anyone, he doesn't care if it's 3 on 1 in that ring he's still walking out and looking for a fight!
DM: Westcott hasn't gotten to be the #1 contender by laying back, he's clearly looking to send a message to both Anthology and to Sean Stevens tonight!
[MUSIC UP: "Bad As Can" by Beetlejuice. The crowd gets on their feet as Ice Tre, rocking a blue ring jacket and so much ice and bling as to look like it outweighs him, makes his way down to the ring, high fiving the cheering fans.]
DT: Ice Tre in the house! This crowd is electric!
MN: Ugh...This guy is a joke...I almost forgot how much I hated him for costing Stevens for the title...If he screwed anything up for Trip tonight he might pass the gothtard for #1 on my hate list.
DT: I'm sure he's deeply concerned about such issues Neely...
[The lights dim. SFX: Thunder, Lightning, Horses, Chariots, grunts, growls and other sounds of Gladiator-style war.
GLADIATOR: ….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!"
CUTTO: 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.
Suddenly, the EMPIRE-tron faded to black. And, for a moment, there was nothing but silence.
"Time to ride, n[BEEP]."
[The EPW World Champion Sean Stevens steps onto the rampway, soaking in a reaction of more boos then cheers, but getting some respect from the crowd who likes to back a winner. Stevens has on his "Finisher" line "Blue Eyed Badass" T-Shirt, black tights with blue X's on the legs and one on the seat. A top line pair of Ray Ban sunglasses, and of course, the EPW World Title strapped around his waist.]
MN: ALL HAIL THE KING!
DT: You are such a sad little man Neely, honestly.
MN: I can't help it, greatness deserves praise.
DT: Sean Stevens, the only two time EPW World Champion, and a man who's clearly been on a roll as of late making his way to the ring to join his two partners.
MN: Think of all he's done, he won the main event of Wrestleverse 3...I mean, that's big, but last week he carried that emo idiot to a win over Anthology...This man is a miracle worker!
TF: And now introducing their opponents...At a combined weight of 651 pounds...ICE TRE!!! The #1 contender to the EPW World Champion...MARCUS! WEST! SCOTT!...And the EPW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!! TRIPLE X!!! SEAN!!!! STEVE! ANNNNNNSSSS!!!!
[The crowd buzzes, Tre's faction of support seems to have the fans behind his team. Anthology huddle up and Jared Wells looks to start for them, while after a moment or two in the other corner Sean Stevens refuses to leave the ring, Ice Tre and Westcott take to the apron, Westcott protesting a bit more as he does.]
[Bell rings.]
DT: And we're underway, Sean Stevens locking up with Jared Wells to start. Stevens shoves Wells backwards...Wells gives Stevens a smirk and they lock up again...Stevens with a knee to the gut of Wells and now he pushes the Tag Champion backwards into his own corner...Stevens yelling at Wells to tag in Cruise!
DM: Stevens wanted Cruise badly at the last aggression, calling for a title Vs title match, when that fell through he went so far as to tag with The First to get his hands on him...Clearly he still wants more!
MN: NO! Don't tag Cruise!
DT: Wells makes the tag and now for the second week in a row the EPW World Champion and IC Champ are face to face in the ring!
MN: Why is life so cruel!
DT: Stevens and Cruise circle and Stevens CRACKS Cruise with a right hand, and another shot! Cruise staggers into the ropes and gets whipped to the other side...CRUISE SPIKED INTO THE MAT WITH A SPINEBUSTER!!!
DM: What big time impact from the champion!
DT: Cruise stumbling to his feet but he's quickly grabbed by Stevens and hooked up...SNAP SUPLEX!
MN: Stop killing each other! You should be working together to rid this company of all non-Anthology, non-Stevens people! This is tragic!
DT: I'm so glad you're at least watching what's happening this week, Cruise landed hard from that suplex, but he also landed near his corner and he makes the tag to Sean Edmunds, who's now the third member of Anthology to try his luck with the champ.
DM: Sean Edmunds was quite outspoken leading up to this match, let's see if he can back it up in the ring.
DT: Edmunds and Stevens trading right hands...Edmunds I think just caught Stevens with an finger in the eye...I don't think Pat Jones saw that and now Edmunds peppering Stevens with right hands and now has him backed into the corner and driving knees into the gut of the Champion. Edmunds now sends Stevens to the opposite corner...Stevens hits HARD and staggers out into a BIG TIME CLOTHESLINE from Edmunds!
MN: I mean this is good for Anthology, but it's beating up Stevens...Couldn't they wait till Ice Tre was in there to bust out the big offense?
DT: Stevens back to his feet and he lands a right to Edmunds...The two men trading shots...Stevens with kick to the midsection and a HAYMAKER of a right hand rocks Edmunds backwards...Westcott calling for a tag but Stevens is ignoring him...Edmunds gets up and knees Stevens in the back...Stevens stumbles into his corner and Westcott tags himself in!
DM: Westcott not taking kindly to being blown off by the champion he'll be fighting in short order.
DT: Westcott now in the ring hammering away on Edmunds...Edmunds staggers backwards and now Westcott scoops him up and a BIG SLAM from the #1 contender...Westcott dropping a series of elbows into Edmunds chest...And now Westcott off the ropes...DRIVES a knee into the FACE of Edmunds...
MN: Westcott’s kinda cool, but I can't abide by people beating on Anthology...
DT: Marcus Westcott now throws Edmunds into Westcott’s corner...Stevens holding his hands away from Westcott, he's not giving him a tag...WESTSCOTT SLAPS STEVENS!
DM: Westcott had a tag match with Anarky that turned out a lot like this...Marcus Westcott has no luck with his tag partners.
DT: Stevens back in the ring and he's nose to nose with Westcott...AND NOW THEY ARE TRADING PUNCHES!
MN: YES! That's it Stevens, fight those who are not in Anthology!
DT: While they are trading blows, Ice Tre just made a tag on Stevens...Ice Tre legal now and he gets in the ring...Tre mugging and looking as bad-ass as he can as Edmunds now just smirking at him...
DM: While we await Edmunds and Tre engaging, Stevens and Westcott have gone to the floor and continue to brawl.
DT: Tre and Edmunds lock up...Edmunds slugs Tre...Tre staggers...Edmunds with a kick to the gut, and a GUTWRENCH SUPLEX! Edmunds now stomping away on Tre...
MN: Beat him dead, and then beat him some more!
DT: Wells tagged in now and he's stomping Ice Tre...Wells throws Tre into the Anthology corner and now all three men taking shots at him...The ref needs to get control here!
MN: Hey Anthology makes the rules around here, not some pinhead in a striped shirt!
DT: Meanwhile on the floor, Stevens has just been THROWN into the STEEL STEPS by Westcott Stevens slumps down and takes a BRUTAL KICK TO THE HEAD by Westcott! The champ is down!
DM: Westcott isn't getting on the apron either, he's still leaving Ice Tre to fend for himself in the ring!
DT: Cruise now tagged in...The ref trying to get Wells out of the ring...TRE JUST BLASTS CRUISE WITH BRASS KNUCKS!! HE KNOCKED CRUISE COLD!
MN: That cheating worthless little!
DT: Tre throws the knucks out of the ring, he covers!
ONE!!!
TWO!!
NO!!!
DT: Wells breaks up the pin, but now Cruise and Tre are down...Westcott now back on the apron, Tre and Cruise crawling to their corners...
MN: Unreal, Westcott goes from beating up the champ to now bailing this Jamie Kennedy wanna-be out of the beating he so richly deserves, damn you Westcott!
DT: Cruise makes the tag to Wells...TRE LUNGES...BUT STEVENS JUST PULLED WESTSCOTT OFF THE APRON! Tre now dragged back to Anthology's corner and Wells stomping him silly! Wells pulls him up...POWER BOMB BY WELLS!
MN: I think he broke his back, or at least I'm hoping he did!
DT: Wells tags in Edmunds now...Edmunds with a cocky swagger around the ring, this match has turned into a 3 on 1 against Ice Tre...Edmunds now with a SWINGING NECKBREAKER ON TRE! Edmunds now tags in Cruise who puts the boots to Tre, who's barely moving.
MN: Make him stop moving...Make him stop breathing!
DT: Meanwhile on the floor, Stevens is getting the best of Westcott and BOUNCES his head of the STEEL RINGPOST...Westcott is out of it...WAIT A SECOND....NOW ANTHOLOGY IS ALL OVER STEVENS! Pat Jones out on the floor trying to break this melee up!
DM: Anthology now attacking the champion and #1 contender...Wells and Edmunds beating them down while Cruise has control in the ring!
DT: Cruise now hooking waiting for Tre to get to his feet...He's getting ready for a REALITY CHECK...Tre to his feet, Cruise charges...TRE JUST THREW FIRE!! [Crowd pops!] TRE BLINDED CRUISE...TRE WITH A ROLL UP!!! THE REF BACK IN THE RING!!!
ONE!!!
TWO!!
THR--NO!
DT: CRUISE KICKED OUT! Tre nearly stole it there with the fire!
DM: Where does Tre come up with all these tricks?
DT: Cruise thrashing around clutching his face...He's yelling at his fellow Anthology mates to tag him out...Wells tags Cruise who rolls to the outside...WESTSCOTT DECKS HIM WITH A CLOTHESLINE! The outside of the ring providing no safety at all!
MN: I was hating Ice Tre, but Westcott might be surpassing him, he's attacking all the good of EPW, it's a disgrace!
DT: Pat Jones again trying to break up the fight on the outside...WAIT A SECOND...STEVENS JUST SHOVED JONES TO THE GROUND! JONES SHOOTS TO HIS FEET AND CALLS FOR THE BELL!
[Bell rings!]
DT: Sean Stevens just got himself and his team disqualified! What on earth was he thinking!
DM: He clearly doesn't care about this match, hell just about everyone out here is somebody he hates. He just wants to fight!
DT: Anthology are going to win this by DQ...But really, it's just a pure fight now, everyone except Ice Tre is on the floor...Westcott now being the victim of a 4 on 1 beating...And Anthology quickly turns on him...Anthology now beating the hell out of Stevens...Westcott getting up and throwing punches at everyone in sight...ICE TRE UP TOP! TRE CRASHES DOWN ON EVERYONE FROM THE TOP ROPE!!! ["EPW" chants!]
DM: Tre might have knocked himself senseless with that move!
MN: You're acting like he had sense to begin with!
DT: We're running out of time fans...My lord, there's people laid out everywhere...We'll be back next week with MORE AGGRESSION!
[Sean Edmunds pulls himself to his feet, he staggers away from the pile of bodies and grabs a steel chair...Stevens, Westcott and Wells are getting to their feet as Edmunds makes his way back towards everyone with the chair and we FADEOUT]
