Empire Pro and New ERA Present .. Sin City Showdown!

(The camera fades in to the MGM Grand Garden arena as the fans make their way to their seats. The scene stops. Fade to black.)

VOICE: “To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction..”

(From the left side of the screen, the logo for Empire Pro Wrestling fades in.)

VOICE: “The forces of two bodies on each other are always equal and are directed in opposite directions.”

(From the right side of the screen, the logo for New ERA of Wrestling fades in.)

VOICE: “Whatever draws or presses another is as much drawn or pressed by that other.”

(The logos move closer to one another .. before meeting in the center of the blackened screen.)

VOICE: “If you press a stone with your finger, the finger is also pressed by the stone.”

(The logos butt against one another, pushing each other back towards the sides of the screens.)

VOICE: “If a horse draws a stone tied to a rope, the horse (if I may so say) will be equally drawn back towards the stone..”

(The blackness dissipates into a bare room. Sitting on white stools are two televisions. Relics from the 1980s… the power kicks in and static fills both screens.)

VOICE: “For the distended rope, by the same endeavour to relax or unbend itself, will draw the horse as much towards the stone, as it does the stone towards the horse, and will obstruct the progress of the one as much as it advances that of the other.”

(The left television set begins to clear. The camera moves ever so closely .. focusing on the black and white picture.)

VOICE: “If a body impinges upon another, and by its force changes the motion of the other, that body also (because of the equality of the mutual pressure) will undergo an equal change, in its own motion, toward the contrary part.”

(“Triple X” Sean Stevens and the First.. battling on Aggression 50. Stevens has First by the head and looks out into the crowd, giving the illusion he’s staring right through the television set.)

VOICE: “The changes made by these actions are equal, not in the velocities but in the motions of the bodies; that is to say, if the bodies are not hindered by any other impediments.”

(The television screen on the right now begins to clear. We see Shawn Hart, PhD standing over the body of Peter File at Destrucity II.)

VOICE: “For, as the motions are equally changed, the changes of the velocities made toward contrary parts are reciprocally proportional to the bodies.”

(The sets abruptly turn off. “Showdown” by Pendulum cues as the screen goes black once more.)

(The logo for EPW & New ERA present … Sin City Showdown! (feat. NGEN & LVW) comes on screen.)

VOICE: “The law of reciprocal action; Sir Isaac Newton.”

(CUTTO: Ringside. More accurately, the two announce tables side by side. On the left, the Empire Pro announce team; on the right, the New ERA announce team.)

THOMAS: “Welcome everyone to the SHOWDOWN!”

GHEORGHE: “After months of waiting .. after two shows already this day, we have finally made it to the end .. to Sin City Showdown!”

THOMAS: “I’m Dave Thomas, and with me here at the EPW announce table are Mike Neely and Dean Matthews…”

GHEORGHE: “And I am Tom Gheorghe … and here at the New ERA announce table with me tonight are Nick Jive and Dean Julius… and welcome … welcome to what should be an explosive evening!”

NEELY: “Let’s get this massacre on the ROAD.”

THOMAS: “Several huge matches tonight .. and for the first time … Empire stars … New ERA stars …. Will go head to head to bring home the glory for their homes.”

JIVE: “It’s on, bitches!”

NEELY: “Who you calling a bitch?!”

GHEORGHE: “How about we let the wrestlers handle this, fellas..”

THOMAS: “Agreed! We’ve heard all the hype .. we’ve all seen the war of words … and tonight, at Sin City Showdown, we’re going to see some of the best action *professional wrestling has to offer.”

JULIUS: “So why are we waiting? I’ve been in this arena far too long already. We’re in Vegas…. I have money burning a hole in my pocket.”

MATTHEWS: “Hope you brought enough .. hookers ain’t cheap here, my friend.”

GHEORGHE: “Aggression 50 … Destrucity II .. all led to tonight. Everyone is ready to go .. let’s not wait any longer to get this started.. we’ve got Anarky and GAMMA-O up first tonight .. and I hear that the announce team from NGEN will be handling the action.”

NEELY: “Burn. Can’t even bring yourself to formally introduce them.”

THOMAS: “Let’s just send it over to the NGEN squad and temper this off right here.”

Revenge Match Anarky (EPW) vs. GAMMA-O (WFW:NE)

(CUTTO: Jonathan Marx, Vic Waters and Brandon Jacobs sit behind a makeshift announce table on the far side of the ring.)

MARX: “Welcome to Sin City Showdown .. and welcome to the opening bout!”

JACOBS: “This is going to be a barnburner to be sure!”

WATERS: “If by a barnburner, you mean a complete massacre.. then I agree.”

MARX: “GAMMA-O is one of the few remaining testaments to the WFW:NE .. and tonight he will go head to head with someone he’s wanted to gain revenge on for a long, long time: Anarky.”

JACOBS: “Anarky is a former WFW World Heavyweight champion. After the completion of the merger he was already signed with Empire Pro, so he didn’t come to the WFW:NE to try to win back his title … so this is the only chance GAMMA-O has at making things right again.”

WATERS: “Who cares! WFW:NE is gone. NGEN is here. Did GAMMA-O even show up tonight?”

MARX: “I don’t think GAMMA-O would have missed this for anything, Vic.”

WATERS: “Well then wake me when it’s over… because I don’t mind missing it.”

JACOBS: “GAMMA-O representing what is left of the WFW:NE whereas Anarky will be representing Empire Pro .. in this revenge match!”

MARX: “Let’s send it to the ring announcer and officially kick off … Sin City Showdown!”

(CUTTO: The entrance way, as Gamma-O makes his way to the ring “Puritania” by Dimmu Borgir playing over the PA.)

RING ANNOUNCER: “The following contest is set for one fall. Introducing first, hailing from Tokyo, Japan, and weighing in at 223 pounds…. GAMMA!!! OOOOOHHH!!!”

MARX: “Gamma-O carrying the banner for NGEN in this match against Anarky. It shall be interesting to see how this highly touted newcomer deals with the maniac veteran.”

WATERS: “Well Gamma-O isn’t exactly the most friendly of persons, but Anarky’s a grade A sicko, so this will be interesting, and most likely gruesome.”

(CUEUP: “More Human Than Human” by White Zombie. Anarky comes through the curtain, drawing a loud mixed reaction from the crowd. Anarky locks his gaze upon Gamma-O as he makes his way to the ring.)

RING ANNOUNCER: “And his opponent… From Hartford Connecticut… Weighing in at 220 pounds… AN! AR!!! KEY!!!!!”

(SFX: As Anarky hits the ring, and the ref calls for the bell.)

MARX: “The two men just slugging it out in the middle of the ring. This isn’t so much a wrestling match as it is a fight. Anarky now with a series of kicks to the gut… He whips Gamma-O to the ropes… GAMMA-O COMES BACK WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK! Gamma-O dives on top of Anarky and punches away on him!”

JACOBS: “This wasn’t expected to be a catch-as-catch-can classic, and so far it’s looking like it’ll live up to expectations as being a fight.”

MARX: “Anarky getting to his feet an he’s backed into the corner and takes a couple of shoulder blocks to the stomach. Anarky sent to the other corner… CHARGES OUT AND CLOTHESLINES GAMMA-O’S HEAD OFF!”

WATERS: “Man he might be knocked out cold by that shot!

MARX: “Anarky stomps Gamma-O in the head… Gamma-O up to a seated position… ANARKY CHARGES AND CRACKS HIM IN THE HEAD WITH A FOREARM! Anarky covers!

ONE!!

TWO!!

TH-NO!!”

WATERS: “I’m glad Gamma-O kicked out, would have been tragic if this ended before they got really into beating on each other.”

MARX: “Anarky gets Gamma-O back to his feet. Gamma-O gets a thumb into Anarky’s eye and that backs Anarky away, Gamma-O with a couple of leg kicks rocks Anarky… Gamma-O with a ROUND HOUSE KICK TO THE HEAD! Anarky crashes to the mat, Gamma-O with the cover!

ONE!!

TWO!!

TH-NO!”

JACOBS: “Anarky’s tough as nails, Gamma-O is really going to have to bust out the big guns if he wants to get a win.”

MARX: “Gamma-O pulls Anarky up, Gamma-O, lays in a series of knife edge chops [“whoo!”] Gamma-O sends Anarky to the ropes… Sets to early on a backdrop and gets a kick to the face that straightened him up. Anarky hits the ropes… RUNNING FRONT KICK TO THE FACE OF GAMMA-O!”

WATERS: “These guys aren’t holding back at all, can we have this going best two out of three, or maybe five out of nine? I could spend all day just seeing these two beating the tar out of each other.”

MARX: “Anarky drops Gamma-O with a scoop slam and now flips him over to his belly and locks in a CAMEL CLUTCH. Gamma-O being wrenched back in the hold.”

JACOBS: “You know Anarky loves inflicting pain, if you get in the ring with him you’re bound to suffer, and Gamma-O is finding that out right now.”

MARX: “Anarky has the hold locked in, Gamma-O thrashing, trying to get his knees under him to get pressure off his back… Gamma-O gets his legs under him… Anarky quickly jumps up and DRIVES his weight into the lower back of Gamma-O… And now he grab Gamma-O’s legs, and leans back for a BOSTON CRAB!”

WATERS: “Anarky’s just torturing Gamma-O... I haven’t seen Gamma-O suffer like this in his career, but now he’s really in the deep water.”

MARX: “Anarky has Gamma-O in the middle of the ring, Gamma-O thrashing on the mat, refusing to tap out as he slowly crawls towards the ropes… He’s closing in on the ropes… Almost has them… ANARKY PULLS HIM BACK TO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!”

JACOBS: “Oh that’s got to be just crushing, Gamma-O was so close to having escaped that hold and now he’s back in the middle of the ring, even worse for wear than he was before.”

MARX: “Gamma-O bridges and now flips himself back onto his back, now catches Anarky with a rolling cradle, Anarky pinned!

ONE!!

TWO!!

TH-NO!!”

MARX: “Anarky gets out of there at the last second…”

JACOBS: “Last half second really!”

MARX: “Gamma-O back up and he catches Anarky with a knife edge chop… Big forearm to the chin of Anarky. Gamma-O with a right hand and now he hooks Anarky for a fisherman’s suplex… GETS ANARKY OVER… GAMMA-O WITH A BRIDGE!!

ONE!!

TWO!!

THR-NO!!!”

JACOBS: “Anarky kicks out!

MARX: “Gamma-O gets to his feet and grabs Anarky, DDT… NO! Anarky lifts Gamma-O up… INVERTED ATOMIC DROP! Anarky off the drops… FLOORS GAMMA-O WITH A CLOTHESLINE! Gamma-O back to his feet but he’s on rubber legs as Anarky sends him into the ropes… BRUTAL FLYING FOREARM BY ANARKY!”

WATERS: “I think Gamma-O might just have woken Anarky up, and well, that looks like it was a bad idea.”

MARX: “Anarky stalking Gamma-O now… Gamma-O slowly to his feet… Anarky grabs him… CHAOS BREAKER!!”

JACOBS: “Crushing impact!”

MARX: “Anarky with the cover…

ONE!!

TWO!!

THREE!!”

(SFX: Bell rings. CUEUP: “More Human Than Human” by White Zombie.)

RING ANNOUNCER: “The winner of this contest… ANARKY!!!!”

(Anarky gets to his feet, he glares down at the fallen Gamma-O before a moment before shrugging off the ref and exiting the ring.)

MARX: “Anarky with an impressive victory here at Sin City Showdown over Gamma-O... The matches just keep getting bigger and better, and now let’s send you to a team you may not have seen in a while .. Greenie .. Mayes.. the squad from LVW for what should be another incredible match.”
