[FADEIN: The broadcast position]
DT: We’ve had so much crazy things happen tonight and we still have the main event, who knows what’s going to happen here?
MN: I do, Anthology is now rebuilt and more powerful than ever before, and now Fusenhoff better see the writing on the wall and get himself out of this match ASAP…This is about the little freak paying dearly for his foolish attempt at fighting Anthology!
DM: Well so far tonight we’ve seen Anarky attempt to set Copycat on fire…We’ve seen Layne Winters hang on to the TV Title for HOPE in a war with Erik Black, and now…[MUSIC UP: “Brain Stew” by Green Day] What has been an epic war of words is now about to turn physical…
[CUTTO: The top of the rampway where Sean Edmunds, wearing his white ring robe reading “Simply Sensational” on the back in black sequins. The robe is open enough to show he’s wearing knee length dark purple trunks, knee pads and ring boots with interlocking S’s on them in gold. The crowd giving Edmunds a loud chorus of boos.]
TF: The following contest is set for ONE FALL and it is the MAIN EVENT of the evening, introducing first, from Boston, Massachusetts, weighing in at 226 pounds…Representing Anthology…”SIMPLY SENSATIONAL!!!” SEAN!! ED!!! MUNDS!!!
DT: Edmunds has truly had a war of words with The First, he knows he hasn’t brought his A-Game since joining EPW…Tonight he vows to make a major statement for himself and for Anthology…
MN: I wouldn’t doubt him, this man is way too talented to get lost in the shuffle in Anthology or EPW, tonight will be his breakout moment when he silences this freak and crushes all the HOPE out of these fans…
[MUSIC UP: “Pieces” by Hoobastank. The crowd gives another wave of boos as Larry Tact, EPW World Tag Team Title belt over his shoulder, wearing black tights with black ring boots makes his way to the ring he shakes his head at a rather loud fan who’s getting in his face and motions like he’ll slap him before then turning away in disgust.]
TF: And his partner, hailing from Manhattan, New York, weighing in at 262 pounds…He is one half of the EPW World Tag Team Champions…Representing Anthology…LARRY!!! TACT!!!! [More boos as Tact hits the ring, he and Edmunds have a fist bump and then start talking.]
DT: Anthology in the ring now, they know this is not a match to take lightly, what with the dynamic events of tonight having happened, they truly want to put their best foot forward.
MN: And they will, these are two true veterans of the ring, not some idiot who thought being a wrestler would be cool and some big drunk goof!
[MUSIC UP: “Wherever I May Roam” by Metallica. The crowd pops big as Fusenshoff wearing a white wife beater, blue jeans, black work books. He looks at the crowd and seems to be soaking in the cheers for the first time in maybe his career.]
DT: Fusenshoff a man who’s been so beaten down, so broken by his wars with Stalker, by everything he seems like he almost has a new lease on life after what happened at Russian Roulette.
DM: The normally grim, determined Fusenshoff seemingly finally finding a moment of tranquility and well, maybe even a bit of happiness in this word.
MN: Oh you two sound swooning over this nitwit. If he’d played his cards right he’d be with Stevens and currently ruling EPW…But no he’s a big dumb idiot who’s on the wrong side of the ring tonight, he’ll be back to crying in his beer in no time!
TF: And their opponents…Introducing first…From Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada…Weighing in att 265 pounds…FUSE!!! EN!!! SHOFF!!!!
[Fuse walks half way down the ramp and starts to have both members of Anthology waving him towards the ring. He shakes his head at them and stays half way up the ramp as his music fades out.]
DT: Fusenshoff not looking like he wants to get stuck in a 2 on 1 situation here, and you know Anthology has no concern for the rules and would love to start this before the bell.
MN: You just condemn Anthology all the time and [The crowd begins starting a ‘First’ chant, getting louder as it builds.] and man I hate these idiots…Why do they cheer this is moron? And don’t answer that Matthews, I don’t need to hear your worshipful crap about this peon.
[After the First chant goes for a bit MUSIC UP: “Happy Birthday” by The Birthday Massacre hits on the PA and the crowd EXPLODES….The First walks out from the curtain, Muse following behind. The First’s face is painted Kefka style, he’s wearing the First Obamacon “HOPE” T-Shirt, black gi pants, and black ring boots. He holds his taped up right arm to the camera with the words “The King is Dead” written on the tape in a black marker. Muse is wearing a light blue tank top, light blue tight shorts stopping at the knee, and b;acl combat boots. The First paces back and forth on the top of the stage area, screaming at the crowd to get even louder.]
TF: And his partner…He hails from Salem, Massachusetts, weighing in at 208 pounds…Representing HOPE…THEEEEEE!!!!!! FIRRRRRRSSSSSTTTT!!!!!! [Pop!]
[The First and Muse high five the fans as they make it to where Fusenhoff is on the ramp and then all three rush to the ring, Anthology quickly back out of the ring, allowing First to climb to the second rope and pose to the crowd. He does the same in the opposite corner, and then Anthology re-enter the ring and force Pat Jones to keep order in the ring. First’ music fades out, and all four men mill about the ring for a moment, before Fusenhoff and Tact step out of the ring, leaving Edmunds and The First to start the match as the bell rings.]
DT: And we are under way with the main event. The First and Sean Edmunds circling each other, both men clearly want to fight their own match, Edmunds wants to keep this a wrestling match, First wants to turn it into a striking contest and allow him the chance to take to the air. They lock up and Edmunds gets a waist lock. First connects with a couple back elbows and breaks the hold and now First firing away with a series of right hands to Edmunds who’s staggered…First off the ropes with a SPINNING HEEL KICK that sends Edmunds crashing to the mat! Edmunds rolls to the outside. First now grabs the top rope SLINGSHOTS TO THE FLOOR! EDMUNDS SIDESTEPS…FIRSTS LANDS ON HIS FEET! First hammering Edmunds with more right hands and now WHIPS him into the STEEL steps!
DM: First and Edmunds had a lot to say, and so far it looks like The First is getting the last word here!
MN: It’s really early…Talk to me when the match is over to see who’s got the last word.
DT: Edmunds rolls back into the ring and gets to his corner…Edmunds tags in Tact, First now in the ring, and now Tact pointing at Fusenshoff…He wants the big man…And FIRST MAKES THE TAG [pop!]
DM: and now its power Vs power, as the former two time TV Champion faces one half of the tag team champions…
DT: The two men meet in the middle of the ring and they waste no time at all trading BIG RIGHTS…Both men firing away…Fuse blocks a right and now fires a series into Tact who staggers into a corner…Fuse whips him to the otherside…NO! Tact with reversal…TACT CHARGES...INTO A BIG BOOT FROM FUSE! [pop!] Tact staggers back…AND GETS BLASTED BY A CLOTHESLINE! Tact staggers to his feet…GETS BLASTED BY A RUNNING SHOULDER BLOCK! Fuse drops down for a pin!
ONE!
TWO!
NO!!
DM: I don’t think Fuse really thought he’d pin Tact there, but you have to make your opponent expend energy kicking out, and if you catch them sleeping and steal a win.
MN: As if you’ll ever catch anyone in Anthology sleeping and get a fluke win. Fuse is in the big time now, let’s see if he can hang here.
DT: Fusenshoff gets Tact back to his feet and peppers him with jabs , Tact still in a daze and now Fuse tags in The First, who CATCHES TACT WITH A SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE! [pop!] Tact down, First waiting on him…Tact gets to his feet…SPEAR BY THE FIRST! [pop!] He covers!
ONE!
TWO!
NO!
DT: Tact powers out First grabs him in a front headlock, Tact powers to his feet and bulls First into the ropes…First sent to the other side…First off the ropes and catches Tact…FLYING HEADSCISSORS TAKEDOWN! Tact gets back up…BIG DROPKICK SENDS TACT TO THE FLOOR! Edmunds charges into the ring …BACKDROP BY THE FIRST! Edmunds and Tact hit the floor trying to reground [First takes his shirt off and throws it into the crowd, making the girls scream!] Anthology can get nothing going here!
MN: This is sickening, I can’t stand watching this punk gloating in the ring, and Fuse…To hell with him too!
DM: Well you might not like it, but it’s what’s happening, First and Fusenshoff in complete control here.
DT: Fuse now tagged in, and Anthology getting back into the ring, Tact tags in Edmunds, and now Edmunds will try his luck with the big guy…They lock up…Fuse backs Edmunds into a corner, Edmunds yelling at Pat Jones to get him a clean break…Fuse gives him one…[SMACK!] and Edmunds slaps Fuse in the face! [crowd yells ‘ooohhhh!’] Edmunds now ducking between the ropes as Pat Jones keeps the livid Fusenshoff from Edmunds.
MN: He’s in the ropes! Back him up ref! Fusenshoff is just another big idiot who doesn’t get the rules of this sport.
DT: Or doesn’t like it when people abuse them. Pat Jones backs him off…Fuse charges…INTO A DROP TOE HOLD! Edmunds gets Fuse to over-react, Fuse stumbling back to his feet. Edmunds goes after Fuse…AND GETS CAUGHT AND ELEVATED INTO A PRESS SLAM! [Crowd pops!] Fuse holds Edmunds up before dumping him down! Fuse putting the boots to Edmunds and now tags in The First who comes in and both men now stomping away on Edmunds. Pat Jones trying to get Fuse out of the ring as First has Edmunds and whips him to the ropes…No Edmunds reversed and as First hits the ropes he gets KNEED IN THE BACK by Tact…First staggers off the ropes…RUNNING KNEE LIFT BY EDMUNDS FLATTENS HIM!
DM: A cheap shot by Tact turning the tide of this match in favor of Anthology!
MN: Cheap shot! If the big muscle head didn’t fight with the ref he’d never have had the chance to get that shot in, this is all Fuse’s fault!
DT: Edmunds now dropping a series of elbows into the chest of The First. He now picks him up and SLAMS him to the mat, Edmunds makes the tag to Tact. Tact bullies First into the Anthology corner and now hammers him with a series of knees to the gut…Jones telling Tact to let First out of the corner, and while Tact has the ref tied up Edmunds is CHOKING FIRST OUT WITH THE TAG ROPE! Come on ref, turn around!
DM: Tact being a seasoned pro in the tag ranks has clearly shown Edmunds the tricks of the trade here, this misdirecting of the ref allowing these cheap shots to happen.
MN: Hey, this little freak has loaded hand tape and spits some sort of chemical in people’s eyes and you two don’t ever say a word about any of that, Anthology knows there is no rules and there and they are just doing what has to be done!
DT: Edmunds taking the tag from Tact and now snap mares The First onto the mat and a STIFF kick to the back of First by Edmunds…Edmunds now drops a forearm to the back of The First’s neck, and now he locks in a full nelson...Edmunds trying to wear down his opponent here...
DM: Edmunds wants to keep First grounded, keep him from getting to his feet and being able to take to the air, if Anthology keeps First isolated in the ring and grounded their chances of winning skyrocket.
MN: What from 99% to 99.9%? Look this kid is great for getting the Twilight demographic to buy T-Shirts and tickets, but he can’t hang in a real fight, and Fuse, he’s a sad sack just a bad night away from drinking till his liver falls out.
DT: First fighting to his feet, he gets a switch in Edmunds and has a waist lock…First goes for a German suplex…No Edmunds fights him off…Edmunds now with a go behind…He has First hooked…EDMUNDS POPS THE HIPS…BIG GERMAN SUPLEX!!! HE HOLDS A BRIDGE!!
ONE!!
TWO!!
NO! [pop!]
DT: First breaks out at two and a half…Edmunds gives him a kick to the back of the head, drags him over to the Anthology corner and tags in Tact. Tact and Edmunds both stomping away on First…Fusenshoff trying to get in to stop this double team and First now being subjected to even MORE abuse, come on ref, turn around!
MN: Thanks Fuse for playing into Anthology’s hands, that sucker…
DT: Fuse finally ushered out of the ring, and now Pat Jones tells Edmunds to get out of the ring after a brutal beating was dished out behind the ref’s back to The First…Tact now grabs First…He’s got him by the throat…CHOKESLAM BY TACT…He just SPIKED First into the mat…Tact with a cover!
ONE!!
TWO!!
TH—NO! [pop!]
DT: First again escapes! Tact grabs The First and throws him into the Anthology corner...Tact puts a boot under First’s throat and chokes the life from him…Pat Jones gives him the count and Tact breaks at 4…Tact tags in Edmunds…Edmunds now firing shots into the midsection of The First as Tact holds his arms…Muse now the apron screaming at the ref to get Tact out of the ring…Which is only serving to distract the ref and further allow the double teaming to continue.
MN: I might hate that little moron, but I do thank him for the eye candy…Maybe she’ll need a little comforting after her idiot boyfriend is left laying.
DT: Pat Jones finally gets Muse off the apron. Edmunds now gets First back to his feet…Edmunds locks up First…DOUBLE UNDERHOOK SUPLEX! EDMUNDS WITH A COVER!
ONE!!
TWO!!
TH-NO! [pop!]
DT: First again finds a way out! Edmunds showing a bit of anger now and he grabs The First and sets him up on the top rope. Edmunds now to the second rope…He’s got First hooks…BACK SUPLEX OFF THE TOP!!! FIRST HITS WITH CRUSHING IMPACT!!!
MN: That’s all she wrote! Cover him Edmunds! Get over there!
DT: Edmunds hurt himself with that move, but First does look out of it…Edmunds crawls over and tags in Tact…Tact rushes in for the pin!
ONE!!
TWO!!
THR-NO! NO! [Big pop!] Tact looks disgusted at Pat Jones over that count, but First just won’t quit.
DM: First has taken big time shot after big time shot from Anthology but he’s still fighting!
MN: More like getting whipped…They’ll finish him off soon enough…
DT: Tact now gets up and he SLAPS Fusenshoff! Provoking the big man to get into the ring…WAIT! Muse just tripped Edmunds as he was trying to get into the ring! Pat Jones is busy with Fusenshoff while Edmunds is now chasing Muse…Tact now looking confused at what’s going on outside the ring...
DM: Meanwhile First is getting to his feet using the ropes…And now he’s grabbing his throat…
MN: DAMMIT REF!! TURN AROUND!! GET THAT BIG APE OUT OF THE RING!!!
DT: You know it was Tact that provoked Fuse to get into the ring…And now Tact goes over to First…AND GETS BLASTED IN THE FACE BY GREEN MIST!!! [pop!] Tact rolls to the floor and is clutching at his face…Edmunds now trying to help him, while Muse rushes back to her team’s corner…Fuse now back on the apron and First crawling towards him for the tag!
[We can hear a headset being taken off. Neely’s voice can be heard a bit more distant then normal]
MN: Sean, Here! Take this!
DT: Neely just threw a bottle of water to Edmunds who’s now pouring it in Tact’s face… [We hear the headset going back on] And well, glad to have you back Neely.
MN: I’m only upset getting that crap out of Tact’s eyes is going to destroy the evidence that that little emotard did it in the first place…Not that corrupt Anthology hating ref would care!
DM: Well all of this came about because Tact pulls Fusenshoff into the ring allowing for Muse and First to attempt their underhanded tactics, I’d say they were fighting fire with fire.
MN: I don’t care what you say Matthews, I wish Anarky would hit you with a chair again.
DT: Meanwhile in the ring, First has inched ever closer to Fusenhoff…Tact now dives into the ring…TO LATE!!! FUSE GETS THE TAG AND HE’S UNLOADING ON TACT WITH RIGHTS ! Tact staggers….FUSENSHOFF SLAMS HIM!!
DM: Tact’s over 260 and Fuse just picked him up like he was a pillow!
DT: Tact back to his feet…GETS CLIPPED BY A BIG BOOT! Edmunds in now…And he gets DECKED with a BIG CLOTHESLINE! Edmunds rolls to the floor…Fuse off the ropes…STIFF LARIAT TO TACT!! He covers!!
ONE!!
TWO!!
THR-NO! [groans!]
DT: Edmunds makes the save…First in now and he and Edmunds spill to the floor…Edmunds and First fighting on the outside as Fuse now grabs Tact and whips him into the corner…Tact hits HARD and staggers out of the ring…INTO A RUNNING FOREARM FROM FUSENSHOFF! Tact is down and may be out and now Fuse grabs him…It’s time for the Whiskey Bomb! Fuse with a kick to the gut doubles over Tact….AND CRUSHES HIM DRIVING A LEG INTO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD…THAT SHOULD DO IT!
DM: But the ref is tied up outside the ring, Edmunds just ran First into the ring post!
DT: You’re right, Edmunds just sent First into the ring post and the back of his head just BOUNCED off that post…Pat Jones is out there looking at First while in the ring Fuse is going for a cover on Tact…EDMUNDS IN THE RING…HE JUST PUNCHED FUSE IN THE BACK OF THE NECK! FUSE SLUMPS TO THE MAT LIKE HE’S BEEN SHOT!
DM: What the hell? I mean I know Fuse didn’t see that punch coming, but I can’t believe the effect of it.
MN: Hey, you catch anyone in the right spot you’ll knock them out.
[A replay comes up, showing Edmunds looking down at The First and Pat Jones, and then quickly going to the Anthology corner, and pulling out a pair of brass knuckles from the bottom turnbuckle before he rushes into the ring and cracks Fuse in the back of the head!]
DT: And now we see the truth! Edmunds back on the apron and he throws those knucks under the ring…Fuse and Tact laid out in the ring now…Edmunds screaming at Tact to make the pin…Tact starting to move, he’s crawling for a tag…Edmunds reaching out for the tag…First is out of it on the floor…TACT MAKES THE TAG!!

DT: FUSE GOT THE SHOULDER UP!! Edmunds is irate! Edmunds quickly locks in a full nelson, working on that damaged neck of Fuse…Edmunds grinding away, keeping the bigger man down…And Fuse might be fading here…Muse banging on the apron getting this crowd to clap, trying to rally Fusenshoff…
MN: He’s cooked! Edmunds knows how to finish a match, and he’ll get this done.
DT: Fuse trying to fight to his feet. Edmunds moves him into the Anthology corner and makes the tag to Tact, [‘Work the neck’ Edmunds says to Tact]…Tact and Edmunds using the full 5 count to get in as many punches and kicks into Fuse before Edmunds gets out of the ring and now Tact snap mares Fuse to the mat and now locks in a neck crank…Fuse once again trapped in a painful hold, but this time from one half of the tag team champions. [Crowd clapping]…Once again the fans trying to rally Fuse…
MN: It’s like trying to cheer a fish out of water, he’s lost in that ring right now, waste all the energy you want rooting for him, rubes, he’s moments from being put away by Anthology!
DT: Fuse back up…To his feet, a series of elbows breaks the hold…Fuse off the ropes…RUNS INTO A BOOT TO THE GUT…Tact doubles over Fuse…AND NOW LANDS AN AXE KICK TO THE BACK OF THE NECK! FUSE MIGHT BE KNOCKED OUT! TACT COVERS!!

DM: Well First and Fusenshoff might have won the battle tonight, but Anthology clearly looks to be out to win this war.

[The camera cuts from Fusenshoff, on his feet outside the ring, staring at the two warring factions, to the ring where Anarky and Winters continue their patrol while First is just now moving his arms as Muse and Hart kneel over him, to the ramp where Anthology stand, the camera fixes on Stevens who’s yelling ‘You want to play Brian? You want to play? This is what you get.’]
