DM: Man, this one's going to be off the CHAIN. Beast and Benjamin tore the house down last time they faced off, but with Boogie Smallz in there who knows what could happen.

MN: Tonight's the night! I can smell it! Big Loafy's going to get knocked off his throne by Big Daddy English or the Boogie Woogie Man!

DT: I wouldn't be so sure, Mike Neely. Beast has been dominant as champion ever since defeating Christian Sands for the title months ago, and he's rolled through everyone who's challenged him. We could see more of that tonight. Take it away, Tony!

TONY FATORA: Th' following contest is scheduled as an elimination match of two falls! The last man standing will be crowned the World Heavyweight Champion! There is a sixty-minute time limit!

[Cue up: "Lose Yourself" - Eminem. "Yours Truly" Adam Benjamin makes his way slowly to the ring. Adam is wearing two English flag bandana's one that cover his head and the other that covers the lower part of his face revealing only his stone cold eyes. Adam makes his way into the ring and stands firm in his corner waiting for the bell to ring.]

TONY FATORA: Introducing first, at a weight of two hundred and forty five pounds... He hails from the United Kingdom and is a former EPW Intercontinental Champion... This... iss... ADAAAAAAAAMMMMMM... BEEEEEEEN-JAMIIIIIIINNNNN!

DT: Listen to the mixed reaction from this crowd as Adam Benjamin makes his way to the ring.

DM: Screw anyone who boos. Adam Benjamin is one of the greatest wrestlers of our time and deserves respect and admiration from everyone who dares call himself a wrestling fan.

MN: Big Daddy English rules!

[Cue up: "Black Superman" - Above The Law. The crowd promptly begins to boo as Boogie Smallz saunters down the ramp, bong in one hand, blunt in the other. He puffs his spliff and blows smoke in the face of a man at ringside as he climbs into the ring, handing the bong to referee Pat Jones.]

TONY FATORA: From Brooklyn, New York... He weighs in at one hundred an' forty-three kilos... He issss BOOGIEEEEEEEEE... SMAAAAAAALLLLLLLLZZZ!

DT: And this crowd is all over Boogie Smallz, the last [BEEP] champion-

DM: Hey, wait a second, they beep out [BEEP] now?

DT: Wow, they do. [BEEP]. [BEEP]. [BEEP].

MN: Hey, cool! Do they beep GWA?

DM: No, just [BEEP].

MN: Ah, so there has to be an E at the end of the GW. What about GW...Eh? Or [BEEP].

DM: it used to be called that. But they can't beep GYW!

DT: *groan*

[The arena lights fade down to darkness, then slowly come back up in deep blue as the sound of chanting monks fill the arena, and the video screens light up with "BEAST" flashing in different styles and colors of text, mixed in with video clips of Beast executing various moves on his opponents. The chanting monks play for about 15 seconds, then fade into Nickelback's "Figure You Out", and as the opening guitar chords hit, a blast of red and white pyro go off around the stage area, then Beast walks through the smoke down the ramp and to the ring. Once in the ring, Beast salutes the fans by touching his fist to his chest over his heart a couple times before raising his hand in the air.]

TONY FATORA: And finally, from Winnipeg, Manitoba! He weighs two hundred and ninety pounds! He is the reigning and defending Empire Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Cham-pion of the World! Thissss issss BEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSST!!!

DT: What a huge ovation for the World's Heavyweight Champion! This crowd is on their feet!

MN: Sit down, you bums! Loafy doesn't deserve this!

DM: Shh! The match is starting!

[SFX: *DING* - Bell rings.]

DT: There's the bell, and that puts this main event under way! No blows yet - it's Beast and Smallz staring each other down inTENsely!

MN: You can bet that Beast still hasn't forgiven Smallz for screwing him in War Games!

DT: These two powerhouses, going nose to nose now-

DM: Get a load of Big Daddy English!

DT: *chuckling* Smallz and Beast nose to nose, and Adam Benjamin jumping around alongside, waving his arms!

MN: He's being overlooked.

DM: Benjis need love too, Mikeman.

DT: Smallz and Beast talking some trash now, still ignoring Benjamin... Smallz signaling for the test of strength... Beast takes it... AND THEY TURN AND NAIL BENJAMIN WITH A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE!!!

DM: SWERVE!

MN: Ow! Benji got ROCKED!

DT: Benjamin comes to his feet in surprise - Beast SLUGS him in the face! And another big right hand! Benjamin staggers away - into a right from Boogie! Beast! Boogie! They're bouncing Benjamin around like a pinball!

DM: You've got to believe that Beast and Smallz want to tear into each other, so they're going to take A-Benj out of the equation first.

DT: Big right from Beast - and he whips Benjamin into the ropes, boosting him to the outside!

MN: Up he goes!

DM: Interesting tactic by Beast. In this match you CAN be counted out because it's elimination style. He can toss Benjamin out and let the timekeeper take him out of contention, leaving just Beast and Boogie.

DT: And now these two great monsters staring each other down... there's the lock-up, and Beast powers Boogie towards the corner! Boogie braces himself and locks up, pushing Beast back to the center of the ring!

MN: It's like watching two bulls lock horns!

DM: These are both huge guys with a big power advantage. The styles are very similar. I WANT to see these two go at it.

DT: Both men straining now, trying to gain an advantage... wait, Benjamin slides back into the ring and slugs Beast in the back, allowing Smallz to power Beast down!

MN: So much for count-outs.

DT: Benjamin and Smallz taking turns stomping away at Beast now. The World's Champion fighting towards the corner, but Benjamin just pushes him into it and starts stomping a mudhole into Beast.

DM: Benjamin's fired up. You can see the killer instinct in his eyes. That's the sort of thing that made him MCW Champion, and it could make him EPW Champion right here tonight.

DT: Stomping away - Smallz now pushing Benjamin to the side to stomp at Beast himself! Benjamin's indignant - pulls Beast away, and we have ourselves an argument brewing here!

MN: They both want a piece of Beast!

DT: The heated exchange, and BENJAMIN SLAPS SMALLZ RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE! Smallz did NOT like that one bit - HUGE knee to the gut! Whips Benjamin into the ropes! BIG BOOT connects!

MN: I think Boogie got ahold of some bad stuff, man!

DT: A reeling Benjamin comes to his feet and advances on Smallz, but gets caught with the big sideslam from the final GWE Champion. Smallz with the cover - There's two - Kickout by Adam Benjamin.

DM: You're not going to put away Benjamin with a sideslam, Dave. The kid may give up a lot of weight to these two beasts, but he's resilient and has a fine grasp of ring psychology.

MN: Hell, look at how hard Beast had it last time!

DT: Smallz now cradling Benjamin's head, bringing him to his feet... up for the scoop slam but Benjamin floats through! Smallz turning - boot to the gut by Benjamin, and there's the snap suplex!

MN: Wooh! Crisp!

DM: Benji knows his shit.

DT: DEAN! FAMILY SHOW-

DM: DAVE! PAY-PER-VIEW!

DT: *grumble* Benjamin now taking control of this matchup, moving to his very technical, mat-based offense. Slugging away at Boogie's neck with big right hands, and there's the neck vice-

DM: Oh snap!

DT: - But Beast NAILS Benjamin with a kick to the jaw! Benjamin is down, and Beast is hammering away on Smallz's head with huge right hands!

MN: It's like a boxing match in there!

DT: Referee Pat Jones gets in there to break it up - Benjamin jumps on Beast from behind with clubbing blows! Beast hammering back with big right hands! We've got an all-out slugfest erupting here!

MN: Dey be sluggin', dey be sluggin'!

DM: It's sluggin' and buggin'!

DT: Beast takes control with the big knee lift to the gut of Benjamin, stunning Yours Truly. Backs him into the corner - OH, WHAT a chop by Beast!

(CROWD: Wooooo!)

DM: That's gonna leave a welt!

DT: Now the World's Champion on the attack, driving those shoulders into the gut of Adam Benjamin. Whips him into the opposite corner - Benjamin hits the buckles and bounces out - RIGHT INTO A SPINEBUSTER FROM THE CHAMPION!!! The cover! One! Two! No, Boogie Smallz broke up the count!

MN: That spinebuster shook the ring!

DM: That's the advantage of Beast. He's so damn powerful and intense that he can just hurl people around like rag dolls.

DT: And Beast and Boogie again giving each other the evil eye! Smallz with a right hand! Beast now! Slugging away! Beast gaining control, backing Smallz into the ropes - clotheslines him to the outside!

MN: Down he goes!

DT: Beast turning to take on Benjamin again - No, Benjamin's up! DDTs Smallz down and holds on to apply a guillotine choke, mixed martial arts style!

DM: Good call by Benjamin there, cutting off the flow of blood to Beast's head.

DT: Smallz beginning to recover on the outside -

(CROWD: *HUGE POP*)

DT: WAIT A MINUTE! IS THAT WHO I THINK IT IS?!?!

DM: HOLY SHIT!

DT: KEVIN POWERS JUST STEPPED OUT OF THE CROWD - AND GABRIEL POE RIGHT BEHIND HIM!!! THE DARK CARNIVAL IS HERE IN DENVER!!!

MN: WHAAAAT! What're THEY doing here!

DT: The referee's busy watching the submission in the ring - AND MISSES POWERS LEVELING BOOGIE SMALLZ WITH A FIERCE RIGHT HOOK! POE NOW STOMPING THE LIFE OUT OF SMALLZ ON THE FLOOR!

DM: And the timekeeper's over there counting down!

TIMEKEEPER: Four!... Five!...

DT: DAMMIT, THIS IS NOT RIGHT!! Powers now scooping up Smallz... Oh my God, no - NO!!! DAMMIT, KISS THE CANVAS!!! THAT DAMN SLINGSHOT POWERBOMB BOUNCES SMALLZ OFF THE RING BARRICADE DOWN ONTO THE STEEL RAMP!!!

TIMEKEEPER: Six!... Seven!...

DM: SMALLZ JUST GOT LAID THE HELL OUT!!!

MN: THAT'S NUTS!!!

DT: Dammit, Smallz is OUT! He's not moving and the damn Dark Carnival are heading up the ramp laughing!

TIMEKEEPER: Eight!... Nine!... Ten!

(SFX: *DING* - Bell rings.)

TONY FATORA: By virtue of a count-out, BOOGIE SMALLZ HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

DT: And just like that, Boogie Smallz' dreams of victory tonight go up in smoke as the Dark Carnival leave their mark!

DM: Yeah yeah. Check the ring.

DT: Back to the action - Beast POWERS out of Benjamin's chokehold, finally! Backs Yours Truly into a corner and HAMMERS away with shoulder thrusts! Now BEELS Benjamin into the center of the ring!

MN: It's Beast-Benjamin round two!

DM: And this one's gonna be intense!

DT: Benjamin coming to his feet... Beast whips him off into the ropes. Looking for a big boot - Benjamin DUCKS - BEAST HANGS HIS LEG UP ON THE TOP ROPE, AND HE IS SCREAMING IN PAIN!

DM: That's HELL on his quadricep muscles, the way his leg is hung up like that! I remember an athlete of my acquaintance actually ripping his quad clean off like that.

MN: Loafy got pwned!

DT: Now Benjamin in behind Beast... pulls him off the ropes with the big neckbreaker! Now circles around and starts dropping knees onto that injured quadricep of Beast!

DM: This could give Benjamin the match. He smells blood, and if I know him he'll tear that quad apart like a wild dog.

DT: Beast trying to fight to the ropes, but Benjamin grabs the foot of his bag right leg - lifts the entire leg and SLAMS IT INTO THE MAT! BEAST IS IN AGONY!

MN: Man! BDE's going to TOWN on that leg!

DT: You can see the cocky grin on Adam Benjamin's face as he waits for Beast to get to his feet! Now he moves in - DROPKICK to the quad takes Beast back down!

DM: Some mind games there by Adam Benjamin. He let Beast get back up, then took him down again. That can't sit well with the Champ.

DT: The challenger is in total control here at Wrestleverse, wearing down that leg of Beast's. Big stomps to the quad, and Beast is clutching his leg in pain!

MN: I've never seen anyone pick Big Loafy apart like this.

DT: Benjamin now, resting Beast's leg on the ropes... straddles his quad... boosts himself up and COMES DOWN ACROSS THAT QUAD WITH ALL HIS WEIGHT! BEAST IS SCREAMING AND CLUTCHING HIS QUAD AS HE ROLLS AWAY!

DM: What'd I tell ya! That's the Benji Advantage! He grabs that body part and destroys it!

DT: And he's not done yet! Benjamin grabs Beast's leg, flips him over! Signals to the crowd... LOOKING FOR THE FIGURE FOUR - BEAST KICKS HIM AWAY WITH HIS GOOD LEG! Benjamin falls into the ropes and springs forward into a bridge roll-up!

One!

TWO!

Beast kicks out!

MN: There's still loaf in the life! I mean, life in the loaf!

DM: Give it up.

MN: Aw.

DT: Adam Benjamin seems a bit taken aback by Beast's resilience! DROPS the big knee to the quad! Another cover - Kickout by Beast! Benjamin again with the cover - no, big kickout by Beast!

DM: There you see it. The tried-and-true tactic of wearing a man down with pin covers.

DT: A frustrated Benjamin now bringing Beast to his feet... hooks him up, could be looking for the fisherman's suplex... But Beast won't budge!

MN: Loafy's too big!

DT: Benjamin tries again - BEAST LOCKS HIS ARMS AROUND THE CHALLENGER AND DESTROYS ADAM BENJAMIN WITH A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX, and now both men are down and out!

DM: That suplex had a LOT of power behind it, but it was very much a desperation maneuver. Beast's still hurting from all the punishment Adam Benjamin out him through.

MN: Come on, Big Daddy English! Get up and kick his ass!

DT: Referee Pat Jones beginning the count... both men are on their feet at seven. Benjamin moves in and swings - Beast BLOCKS it and chops Benjamin hard! Another chop! Another, and this crowd is ROARING their approval!

MN: He's starting to feel the RAAAAHR!

DT: Beast chopping! He's taking a trip to the woodshed on Adam Benjamin! Backs him into the ropes! The whip - HUGE clothesline from the Apex Predator! Benjamin up - Beast clotheslines him down! Again Benjamin up - SNAP RELEASE POWERSLAM BY BEAST! Benjamin is reeling, and he rolls to the floor to recover!

DM: That's a double-edged sword there, Dave Thomas. Benjamin needs to get some of his focus back, but at the same time he's giving Beast time to shake some of the pain out of his quad.

DT: You can see Beast pushing his kneepad up a little to protect the lower part of his quad, and now massaging the leg muscles to try and dull the pain.

MN: I'd like the sexy Empire Girls to give ME a massage. Yow!

DM: Mike. Get your mind outta the gutter.

MN: Whaaaat!

DM: Besides, Ruby's mine.

DT: A very frustrated Adam Benjamin continues to roam at ringside - what - wait a minute, Benjamin just pulled a chair out of the crowd and is sliding back into the ring!

MN: Ooooohhh.

DT: Pat Jones is having none of this! He's pulling that chair away from Benjamin - he's got it! The official taking the chair outside - AND BENJAMIN KICKS BEAST SQUARE IN THE GROIN WHILE THE REFEREE'S BACK IS TURNED!!!

DM: Ouch! That had to hurt!

MN: He just got hit in his Alpha Malehood!

DT: Beast is down! Benjamin rolls into the cover! Dammit, we have a new champion!

One!

TWO!

THREE!!

NO! NO!! TWO POINT NINE!!! BEAST GOT THAT SHOULDER UP!!!

DM: What resilience by the champion, kicking out after that freakin' SOCCER KICK to the nuts!

MN: He's superhuman, man! He must have, like, balls of steel!

DT: And Adam Benjamin can't believe it! He's pounding on the canvas yelling 'That was three!' He's arguing the count with referee Pat Jones!

MN: Pat ain't budging on this one.

DT: Benjamin rather insistent - uh oh, Beast sitting up now... climbing to his feet, and he's GLARING DAGGERS at Adam Benjamin's back!

DM: This is bad for Adam. Very bad for Adam.

MN: Don't turn around, BDE!

DT: Benjamin turning now... AND BEAST SPEARS THE CHALLENGER STRAIGHT OUT OF HIS BOOTS!!!

MN: That shook the whole RING!

DT: Beast just broke Adam Benjamin in half! The challenger to his feet weakly - MASSIVE SHOULDER BLOCK BY BEAST levels Benjamin! Now Beast grabs Benjamin by the arm - LEVELS him with a short-arm lariat! There's the cover! One! TWO! ...No, two and a half!

DM: Benjamin's still in the game here!

DT: You can see the focus and the intensity in the face of the World Champion, Beast! He brings Benjamin up by the hair - Whips him off into the ropes, and CATCHES HIM WITH THE ONE EIGHTY DEGREE SPINEBUSTER!!! WHAT A MANEUVER!!! COVER!!!

One!

TWO!!

Three - NO! Benjamin got a shoulder up!

DM: But you have to believe Benjamin's hurting now, too.

MN: Ooh, this is getting intense! - and hey, look who's watching from the ramp!

DM: It's Sebastian Dodd, and he's watching Adam Benjamin!

DT: Again Beast pulling up Benjamin and sending him into the ropes - BAAAACK BODY DROP by Beast, and this crowd is on its feet! Beast's feeding off the energy of the crowd here! Benjamin up! CLOTHESLINE by the big man! Now Beast with the press slam - NO, Beast's bad leg just gave out and Benjamin fell on top in a crossboy position! One! Two - Beast kicks out!

MN: Wow, Benjamin's work DID pay off.

DM: Definitely, Mike. Beast's adrenaline was pumping like crazy and he was ignoring most of the pain, but that time it just caught up with him.

DT: The tide seems to have turned here in Denver as Benjamin immediately takes advantage! Kneedrops to the quad of Beast... and Benjamin LOCKS IN THE FIGURE FOUR ON THE BAD QUAD!!! BEAST IS IN A WORLD OF HURT!!!@

MN: Listen to him scream! SQUEAL, Piggeh, SQUEAL!

DM: This hold is just ripping Beast apart right now! It's putting all the pressure on his legs in a big way!

DT: Beast fighting to hold on! He's trying to turn that hold over!

MN: Give it up, Loafy! GIVE IT UP!

DM: It'll take a lot of pain for Beast to tap! Last time Beast lost by submission his opponent had to choke him into unconsciousness!

DT: Beast beginning to pitch towards the side! Benjamin trying to keep the hold locked in!

MN: He's tipping!

DT: Wait, Benjamin breaks the hold! Flips Beast onto his back... ANKLELOCK APPLIED!!!

DM: SMART, SMART move by Adam Benjamin! He saw that Beast was going to turn the hold over on him and bailed out before Beast could reverse the pressure!

MN: Beast's gotta tap now!

DT: This crowd is rallying behind Beast! The champion is in agony, but he's not giving up! He's fighting towards the ropes!

MN: Not gonna make it!

DT: He's THIS CLOSE to the ropes - BENJAMIN PULLS HIM BACK INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING!!!

DM: Ooooooh. Benjamin's got him.

MN: TAAAAAAP!

DT: Wait! Beast turns over - Kicks Benjamin in the gut! Benjamin backs into the ropes and stomps on Beast's face! Now pulling the champion off the mat - Whips Beast into the ropes, looking for a back body drop - BEAST CATCHES HIM IN A HEADSCISSORS! UNDERHOOKS THE ARMS - YES! ABSOLUTION! ABSOLUTION!!!

MN: NO!!

DM: What a desperation move!

DT: The Absolution connects - but Beast is completely out! Both men are down on the canvas, not moving an inch!

DM: This has been one hell of a match here tonight, Dave Thomas. Both of these guys have thrown themselves at each other, and I wouldn't be surprised to see a double KO counted here.

DT: Pat Jones beginning the count.

MN: We can't have a double KO! We can't!

DM: We might.

DT: It doesn't look lke we will, as both men are stirring! Slowly coming to their feet - no, Beast falls to one knee as his quad buckles again!

DM: And that's what could finish beast. That leg of his might not be able to support him.

MN: Hope not! World Champion, Adam Benjamin, baby!

DT: Benjamin sees Beast down on that knee... hits the ropes - SHINING WIZARD! BEAST GOES DOWN HARD!!! BENJAMIN WITH THE COVER!!!

DM: IT'S OVER!!!

DT: ONE!!!

 
TWO!!!!

THREEEEEE!!!

... NO!!! NO!!! PAT JONES IS SAYING BEAST GOT HIS SHOULDER OFF THE CANVAS!!!

DM: NO WAY!!!

MN: WHAAAAT?!

DT: I CANNOT BELIEVE THE RESILIENCE OF THE WORLD'S CHAMPION!!! Beast just refuses to go down! And Benjamin is FURIOUS, pounding the canvas in a fit of rage!

MN: Come on, Benji! Finish him off!

DT: A furious Benjamin dragging Beast into the corner! Leans him against the turnbuckles and boosts him onto the top! Going up... we could see a superplex here!

DM: This is going to hurt.

MN: Goodbyyyye, Loafy!

DT: Benjamin coming up - Beast recovers enough to slug him in the face! Benjamin is stunned - another punch by Beast drops him to the mat on his feet!

DM: Uh-oh...

DT: Another right from Beast - oh my dear lord, he's underhooking the arms! DON'T TELL ME!!!

MN: OH NO!

DM: NO WAY!!!

DT: BRINGS BENJAMIN UP!!! MY GOD!!! THE ABSOLUTION OFF THE TOP ROPE, AND ADAM BENJAMIN MIGHT AS WELL BE A DAMN CORPSE!!!

DM: THAT WAS SICK!!! HIS NECK COULD BE BROKEN!!!

MN: AAAAAAH!!!

DT: BEAST WITH THE COVER!!!

ONE!!!

 
TWO!!!!

THREEEEEEEE!!! IT'S OVER!!!

[SFX: *DING* - Bell rings.]

TONY FATORA: Here is your winner, and STILLLLLLLL Heavyweight Cham-pion of the Worrrrrrrld... BEEEEEEEEEEEEASSSSSSSSSSST!!!

DT: Adam Benjamin poured his heart and soul into that match, but in the end it wasn't enough to overcome the sheer determination of the Champion Beast.

DM: Still, though. Adam keeps getting closer and closer. Maybe tonight wasn't his night, but someday, it will be.

MN: Hey, where's Dodd going?

[As Beast heads to the back, Sebastian Dodd strolls to ringside, gazing in at the recovering Benjamin. The two men lock eyes. Smirking, Dodd gives Benjamin a 'What happened?' gesture, spreading his arms at his sides. Benjamin glares daggers at him.]
