Weekend Warfare (22nd July)

Scene fades in. We are following the HUD of a jet bomber, flying over Manhattan. The HUD picks out the EWA headquarters, The Bateman Center. Dig, by Mudvain begins to play as the Bateman Centre is targeted by the aircraft's HUD. Scene cuts to a smart bomb detaching from the bomber and spiraling down through the clouds toward the Bateman Center. As it hits and explodes, the music kicks to high gear and the video montage of EWA wrestlers taking bumps etc plays in time with the beat. The music reaches a climatic hit, at which point the screen flashes white, fading back to the EWA Weekend Warfare logo, cast in shining steel, covered by tails of blue electricity. Bill Altieri's voiceover begins.

Eminem's voice becomes audible as I'm Shady begins to play. Phil Flaws strides down the isle wearing baggy porn star jeans and an black shirt sporting an EWA logo, slapping a fan's hand occasionally. He stops at the bottom of the rampway, closes his eyes, and smells the air. His efforts get him a huge pop.Flaws looks at Hanson for a moment, then sprints towards the ring and slides under the bottom rope. Hanson immediately goes after him, kicking him in the back of the head as he slides in.

Hanson grabs Flaws by the arm and whips him into the ropes on the opposite side. Flaws comes back and ducks a clothesling attempt by Hanson. He hits the ropes and ducks another clothesline by Hanson. Hanson bounces off the ropes and goes to spear Flaws who is now running towards him, but misses as Flaws leap frogs over him, sending him flying out of the ring under the top rope. Flaws bounces off of the opposite ropes and charges towards Hanson. He drops down and hits the recovering Cole with a hard baseball slide to the jaw. Hanson flies back into the steel barrier outside the ring.

As the anouncers continue to talk back and forth Hanson slides back into the ring. Hanson and Flaws go back and forth with right and left punches until Hanson simply grabs Flaws in a reverse headlock and drops backwards, planting him with a huge ddt. Hanson runs to the nearest turnbuckle and leaps upon it. He turns around and holds his hands in the air to the crowd. The crowd pops a small amount. Hanson then taps his elbow and leaps into the air backwards looking for a top rope back elbow drop onto Flaws. Flaws quickly rolls out of the way however, and Hanson hurts himself greatly upon impact.

Flaws and Hanson both bound to their feet. They lock up in a test of strength and Flaws gets the upper hand. He kicks Hanson hard in the face and then locks him up in a side headlock. He wrenches on Hanson's neck for a minute or so and Hanson falls to a knee. Flaws continues to apply pressure and Hanson continues to slowly lose consciousness. Suddenly Hanson comes to life. He stands up completely, then moves his left hand under Flaw's leg and his right arm around Flaw's back. Hanson lifts him up and hits him with a wicked belly to back suplex. Both men lie on the canvas for a moment and the ref begins to count........

1.....2.....3.....4.....5.....6.....7.....8.....and both men slowly get to their feet. Flaws hits Hanson with a few right hands and picks him up by the head and lower abdomen and slams him down with a body slam. He then climbs a near turnbuckle and motions to the crowd.

Vengence runs down the ringside and leaps on the apron near Flaws. He flips him off from behind, then pushes him off of the turnbuckle. Flaws flies headfirst into the canvas below and lies stunned on the mat. The ref calls for the bell and Vengence climbs the turnbuckle on which Flaws had previously stood. He flips off the ref and then leaps into the air and comes crashing down on Flaw's ribs with a hard elbow drop.

357 is seen running through the crowd with a chair and he leaps on the apron and climbs the nearest turnbuckle. He holds the chair in the air and the crowd begins to chant, "Hardcore.....Hardcore." He then points to Cole Hanson and leaps into the air. He swings his arms in frog splash fashion, then holds the chair over his chest and hits Hanson with a huge chair assisted splash.

Bill Alteri is cut short as Iron Man blares over the speakers. The entire crowd says "I am ironman" with Ozzy Osbourne at the beginning of the song in unison and Vengence enters through the curtain. He holds his arms in the air and the crowd gives him a mediocre reaction. He runs down to the ring and slides under the rope. He turns and looks at the entryway, waiting for his opponent.

Greed by Godsmack begins to play and Gator swings the curtain open and charges towards the ring. The crowd explodes and he gets a standing ovation from the crowd. Gator slides under the bottom rope and he and Vengence immediately begin trading punches. Gator takes control right off and lifts Vengence up and comes crashing down with a basic vertical suplex. Both men leap to their feet and measure each other up.

They both go for a test of strength, but Vengence kicks Gator hard in the stomach, knocking the wind out of him. He follows up and spikes Gator with a basic ddt. Gator lands flat on his head and lies on the ground clutching it. Vengeance stomps hard on his stomach and lifts him up by the head. He whips Gator against the ropes and hits him on the return with a massive lariat. Gator falls to the mat, grabbing his throat.

Vengence picks him up by the head and whips him against the ropes. When Gator comes back Vengence leaps into the air with a heavy dropkick, but Gator catches him from the side and slams him hard to the mat. Vengence bounds to his feet and swings at Gator with right hooks. Gator blocks the punches and reacts with some rights of his own. He pulls in the temporarily stunned Vengence and hooks him up in what could be another suplex. He lifts him up and holds him there for a moment. Then he simply drops and brings Vengence's head with him, nailing him with a gigantic brainbuster.

Gator lifts Vengence by the head, but Vengence snaps out of it and hits him with a hard chop to the chest. He then hits him with snap suplex. He picks him up and hits another. He lifts him and goes for another but Gator blocks it and hits a snap suplex of his own. Gator lifts Vengence by the head and lifts him into vertical suplex position. Vengence slips over Gator's shoulder and lands behind him. Gator has no time to turn, as Vengence grabs him by the waist and hits him with a german suplex.

The referee forces Vengence to release the hold and Gator slowly stands to his feet. Vengence charges him and Gator flips him over the top rope with a one armed back drop. Gator drags himself to a close corner and drops into it, resting. The referee begins to count.....1.....2.....3.....4.....5.....and Vengence slides back in. Gator stands to his feet and looks Vengence square in the eye. He yells at the top of his lungs and pounds his chest. Vengence charges him with a vicious lariat. Gator ducks the hard clothesline and turns before Vengence has the time to respond. Gator grabs the stunned Vengence from behind and hoists him into the air on his shoulders. He throws Vengence's body into the air and drops to the canvas mat, driving his head and neck deep with a diamond cutter-like move. The crowd erupts as the moves is finished.

Fan "How is everyone tonight? Great. I wanted to do some introductions! My name is D.C. Payne. And I am from Washington, D.C.! Isn't that cool! I wanted everyone to know that DCP...that's me...is a HUGE JC Swinger fan! A guess you could call me a super fan! I own his t-shirts, his lunch boxes, his action figures with the kung-fu grip. But tonight I get to live out my dream! I get to actually meet JC Swinger! He is up against that stupid SOB, Jeff Kane. You know Kane, I bet JC could beat you with only his feet! Those are very powerfull feet! Anyways, I just wanted to tell JC not to worry...DCP will be in his corner tonight! Thanks everybody!"

B.A. is once again cut off as Rock You Like A Hurricane by The Scorpians plays over the speakers. Tim Dewey comes through the curtain and looks around. Tim enters wearing no shirt, black leather shorts and red knee pads, coupled with black, patent leather generic wrestling boots, and taped wrists. He raises his hands in the air and the crowd pops wildly. Dewey starts continues down the ramp, but doesn't even make it to the ring as the lights go out.

The lights returns and Dewey steps backed shocked as Chaos stands before him in the ring, wearing a black trench coat, black leather pants, no shirt, black boots and an elbow pad on his right arm. Chaos immediately begins working on him, hitting him with constant left and right fists to the stomach. Dewey falls to his knees and Chaos backs off. Dewey stands and is hit with a huge running clothesline.

Dewey lifts Chaos up and pulls his head inbetween his legs. He blows a kiss to a girl in the crowd and locks his arms around Chaos' waist of a powerbomb. Chaos quickly retaliates and lifts up his head, bringing Dewey with him. He grabs Dewey's legs and slams him hard on the mat with a savage spine buster.

Switch turns his back and Sully stops on the apron. He reenters the ring and waits for Switch to turn. Switch turns around and gets locked in in a snap suplex-type position. Sully hoists Switch into the air and comes crashing down on his head and face with an inverted ddt.

Sober begins to play over the speaker system and J.C. Swinger enters the arena through the curtain. The crowd boos him heavily as he makes his way to the ring with Tina on his arm. He stops halfway down the isle and flexes his massive biceps, which Tina fondles, then continues to the ring.

Last Resort by Papa Roach begins to blasts over the speakers and Jeff Kane enters the arena through the curtain. Chaz walks by his side in a well tailored, well over $1000 suit. Kane's eyes give him away as a little more edgy, and a little more demented than usual. He carries in his right hand a baseball bat with lightbulbs attaches to it and Chaz carries 6 hydrogen bulbs taped together.

Chaz and Jeff stop at the top of the rampway and Chaz puts down his bulbs for a minute. Then he rips off the jacket of his suit to reveal a Jeff Kane shirt. The shirt reads: Team Kane.....(shows a picture of Jeff Kane in a nice Armani suit)....Property of the Sensational One Inc. Chaz and Kane continue to the ring and they slide under the bottom rope. Swinger raises his chin a little to the much smaller (width-wise) Kane and looks down at

(From the entrance way emerges four man carring objects. The first man is carrying a barbwire table. he walks towards the one corner and rests in there. The second guy is seen walking with a sheet of glass. He places in in another corner. The third guy is seen with a table that in covered in hydrogen bulbs. He places that in a corner. The last guy is seen with another sheet of glass.)

Jeff picks J.C. up by the hair and whips him into the ropes. Swinger hits him with a huge clothesline on the way back and stomps Kane's head into the canvas. He picks him up and bodyslams him hard into the mat. He turns his back to Kane and picks up the taped flourescent lightbulbs. Jeff quickly grabs his bat cracks J.C. across the forehead when he turns, causing more of the lightbulbs to bust.

Kane picks him up and whips him into the opposite corner, which also contains glass. As Swinger runs, glass shards can be seen hanging from his back. He slams into the second sheet of glass, except face first this time. He falls onto the turnbuckle, and then back on his back and screams in agony as glass twists and juts into every cut in his body.

Swinger gets up to his hands and knees and looks at Kane who looms over him. He shakes his head no vigorously. Kane laughs and cracks the bulbs across his head, shattering them and ripping a huge gash in Swinger's forehead and face. Tina can be heard in the background, screaming for someone to stop the match. Jeff spits at here and picks Swinger up. He whips him hard into the barbed wire and then throws him off the barbed wire by his blood matted hair.

Kane picks the barbed wire off of the broken table and lays it on the ground near Swinger's head. He picks Swinger up by the hair and hoists him onto his back. He stands for a moment with a crazes look on his face, then drops Swinger head first into the barbed wire with a death valley driver.

Five referees flood the ring and try to contain Kane. Jeff grabs two flourescent bulbs off of the table and sets them on the mat at his feet. He picks up one and charges a ref. He smashes him in the head, smashing the bulb and at the same time, knocking him to the ground. He grabs another bulb and does the same to another ref. Two referees grab him by the arms and he headbutts one and bodyslams the other of the barbed wire. The referee who got the headbutt starts to recover, but is picked up by Kane. Kane runs full speed at the table with the remaining flourescent bulbs and leaps into the air, driving the ref through the table and through the bulbs.

The last ref calls for the bell and tries to scramble out of the ring. Jeff grabs him by the hair and lifts him onto the apron. He throws him over the top rope by his hair and stomps on his head. He then picks him up and hits him with the Kane-asser. He then quickly climbs the nearest turnbuckle and lifts his hands into the air. The crowd boos loudly, but cannot stop him as he leaps into the air and hits the fallen referee with a shooting star press.

Chaz and Kane then exit the ring and start walking up the isle. J.C. Swinger slowly makes it to his feet after Kane has made it to the top of the ramp and stopped (where he watches Swinger on the Psychotron,) and D.C. Payne slides into the ring. He holds Swinger's hand up in victory. The crowd's cheers are deafening. He turns towards the crowd and then back to Swinger. He looks at the bloodied Swinger with a smile, then takes a step forward and plants Swinger in the head section with the Payne in the Neck (super kick.) D.C.P. tears off his J.C. Swinger shirt to reveal a Jeff Kane shirt identical to Chaz's. The crowd erupts in bood again. Tina gasps and begins to cry again and Jeff Kane turns back towards the ring, laughter escaping both he and Chaz, as visible on the Psychotron.

Underground by Life of Agony begins to play over the p.a. and Dan Etoll strides into the arena. The fan's reactions are generally positive, and he gets a large pop. A few fans flip him off and yell obscenities at him but he continues towards the ring, oblivious to anything but the two men standing within the confines of the squared cirlce. He takes a hold of the bottom rope and pulls himself up so that he's standing on the apron. He climbs the nearest turnbuckle and holds his arms in the air, an effort for which he gets a huge pop from the crowd.

357 climbs into the ring under the top rope and motions for a mic. A crew guy tosses a mic over the top rope and 357 catches it. He removes the towel from his head and tosses it outside the ring. He paces back and forth for a minute, then stops and stares at both Violence and Hades.

357 "Lately I've been getting a lot of heat from the boys in the back for my interference in you two stooge's match at Body Count. What no one seems to understand is that it's not about the people that I attack or interfere against. It's about me. You see, since I debuted here in E.W.A. I haven't gotten one single ounce of notice from anyone. Not even when I went on my beating rampages as E.W.A.'s own enigma. The only people that reacted to it were the people who got beaten, and they barely even reacted. So I guess it all boils down to this; after we beat the living bejesus out of you two clowns here tonight in a no holds barred tag match I'll be worth more here. In addition, I'll be worth more elsewhere."

357 "You people aren't understanding this. It's about the championship gold! The more I win here, the more chances I'll get to wrestle elsewhere. The more I wrestle elsewhere, the more championships I tuck under my belt. You see, that means that I may have the honored privilege to wrestle in a company better than this rat hole."

As if B.A. commands Dan's actions, Dan is seen standing on the top turnbuckle. Hades turns and sees Dan, but can't react in time to stop the missile dropkick from the top. Dan places his legs into the abdomen of Hades, sending him back into the steel barrier. Hades drops into sitting position and Dan bounds back to his feet. He takes a few steps back, then runs and baseball slides Hades right in the groin.

Violence hits Dan with a few forearms to the back, then whips him into the steel steps leading to the ring. Dan crumples in a heap after his bones meet the unforgiving steel. Violence walks towards Dan and begins to hit him with hard punches to the face. 357 slowly stands and slides into the ring under the bottom rope. He runs and bounces off the ropes on the opposite side then dives through the ropes towards the unsuspecting Violence with a tremendous flying shoulder tackle.

Hades begins to gain control and pushes 357 down to a knee with his strength. Dan runs to hits Hades, but it stopped dead in his tracks when Violence clips him from the side. Dan falls to the canvas, clutching his side. Hades continues to dominate 357 and pushes him down to both knees. Violence picks up the winded Etoll and hits him with two snap suplexes. He then picks Dan up again and pulls his head between his legs. He casts a hateful stare to crowd and the crowd responds with an almighty chant, "Dan Etoll.....Dan Etoll....." Violence responds by hoisting Etoll into the air and throwing him back first into the canvas with a huge powerbomb. Violence screams to the agitated crowd, "Chant your hero now!" The crowd responds with a huge boo.

Hades lets out an unholy roar and raises his body up as if he's going to push 357's entire body to the canvas. 357 with an amazing feat of agility spins his body so that he's lying on his back looking up at Hades and at the same time twisting Hades' arms in a torturuos position. He then kicks his feet into Hades' abdomen and flips him with a tremendous monkey flip, sending him careening to the hard mat below. 357 flips himself up and runs to the nearest turnbuckle. He leaps onto it and shows the hardcore sign to the crowd, then points to the ceiling with the hardcore sign, bends down a little to the side and looks up. He gets a huge mixed reaction from the crowd. A large chant begins, "357.....357....." while at the same time another chant begins, "Sellout.....Sellout....."

While 357 stands on the turnbuckle Violence walks to the turnbuckle and stands behind him, waiting. 357 turns around and is met with a punch to the mid section followed by numerous punches to the face. 357 falls down on the turnbuckle into sitting position. Violence mounts the turnbuckle and hooks 357 up into cradle position. The crowd boos emphatically as Violence falls off the turnbuckle still holding 357 and plants him with a huge top rope cradle ddt.

Violence stands and walks to the ropes. He grabs the top rope and and pulls it down so he's resting on it. He screams at the crowd and is responded to with another wave of boos. Hades now standing runs toward the fallen 357 for what could be a leg drop or elbow drop but is cut short as Dan Etoll comes to life and tackles him head on. He goes back and forth with lefts and rights and Violence doesn't see any of it. Dan dismounts and waits for Violence to turn around. Violence slowly turns and when realizes that he's been set up it's too late. Dan moves forward and places a kick right into Violence's jaw.

Dan grabs Violence by the head and picks him up. He ducks under the top rope so that he's standing on the apron facing Violence's back and he slingshots himself over the top rope and nails Violence with a flying bulldog. He rolls Violence out of the ring under the bottom rope.

Hades rises to his feet and grabs the unsuspecting Etoll by the legs from behind. He bends down and picks Dan up upside down on his back. He holds Etoll by both legs and lets out another unholy roar. He sprints forward and leaps into the air. He comes crashing down on both Etoll's back and head.

Hades leads Etoll by the head to the turnbuckle and places him on it. He climbs up after and pulls Dan's head in under his arm. 357 runs and slides back into the ring holding a chair. The crowd goes wild and Hades looks around confusedly. 357 holds the chair in the air, then charges to the ropes directly next to Hades. He leaps onto the top rope still holding the chair and bounds off of it with a springboard leg lariat with a chair. His leg connects with Hades' head and the chair cracks hard into the side of Hades' face, sending him crashing backwards off of the turnbuckle onto the hard mat below.

357 quickly helps Dan off of the turnbuckle. 357 then jumps onto the top of the turnbuckle and turns to face Hades. Dan sees Violence on the apron and charges him. Violence ducks under the top rope and hits Dan in the midsection with a hard shoulder block. Dan staggers back and runs forward again. Violence ducks back under and hits him with another shoulder block. Dan backs up and begins to run forward, but stops before he is in Violence's range. Violence ducks under again but finds no one there. Dan leaps into the air and comes crashing down on the back of Violence's neck and head with a vicious guillotine leg drop. Violence clutches his throat and falls back to the outside of the ring.

Dan grabs Hades by the hair and leads him to the turnbuckle where 357 sits. 357 pulls him in and Dan runs to an adjacent turnbuckle. 357 leaps into the air and spins Hades in a tornado ddt, then spins his own body and changes it into a leaping bulldog. Dan who waits on the adjacent turnbuckle leaps into the air and comes crashing down with a huge elbow drop from the top.

357 runs back to the turnbuckle and climbs it again. He does his signature hardcore sign/point to the sky taunt again. This time the crowd responds in an almost completely positive cheer. Violence slides in under the bottom rope and grabs Dan Etoll. He runs and throws him over the top rope by the hair to the outside of the ring.

Violence pulls 357 up into the air but can't finish the job because 357 falls loose and hits a reversal tornado ddt. 357 quickly pulls Violence up and grabs his head from behind. He holds his hand up with the hardcore sign and slams Violence down backward, bringing his arm down across Violence's throat. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Hades climbs up onto the apron and enters the ring under the top rope carrying two chairs in one hand and a singapore cane in his other. He drops the chairs and waits for 357 to turn around. 357 does his signature taunt and turns only to be cracked across the skull with a hard singapore cane shot. The crowd boos wildly and Hades lifts his free hand and flips off the entire crowd. 357 slowly staggers back to his feet and is once again nailed in the face with a vicious cane shot. He staggers back and falls against the ropes, using them to hold himself up. Hades holds the cane in the air, then charges forward and cracks the cane across 357's skull again. Dan Etoll reenters the ring and picks Violence up by the head. He hits him with a few forearm shots to the face, then kicks him in the stomach and hits him with a stunner.

Hades picks up Dan and whips him into the ropes he catches him on the way back and plants him with a huge forward spinebuster. Hades picks up Etoll and hoists him onto his shoulders with Etoll facing out. He spins around for a moment then comes crashing down with a reverse Death Valley Driver.

357 begins to stand again and Hades picks up his singapore cane, then runs at 357 and clocks him with another hard cane shot to the head. 357 simply drops and lays on the canvas in a heap. Violence slowly comes to and sits on the wounded Etoll's back. He grabs Etoll's legs and pulls them up in boston crab position. He then changes the hold into The Pain by jabbing his knee deep into Etoll's back, between his shoulders. Etoll's face contorts in agony and he screams in pain. Hades walks to Etoll's head and begins cracking him in the back of the skull with the singapore cane. Etoll cries out in pain and clutches the back of his head, trying to protect it from the horrific cane shots. Hades continues raining down hard cane shots to Etoll's head until the screaming stops. Violence drives his knee even harder into Etoll's back and the ref slides into the ring. He taps Etoll's face and holds his arm in the air, letting it drop three times. He calls for the bell to be rung. The bell rings and Violence and Hades are declared the winners. Bodies by Drowning Pool begins to play over the speakers. The referee goes to hold the winner's hands in the air but they don't even acknowledge his presence. Hades continues to beat the already beaten 357 with the singapore cane and Violence continues to apply pressure to Dan's legs and back with The Pain.

Violence releases the punishing hold on Etoll and picks up one of the chairs that Hades brought into the ring with him. Hades follows suit and replaces his singapore cane with a steel chair. The two men pick up Etoll and throw him to the ropes. As he returns they hit him in the face with their chairs. Etoll's legs give out and he falls through the air in a crumpled heap. Hades and Violence then pick up 357 and whip him to the ropes they hit him in the same way they hit Etoll. However, Hades picks 357 up and leads him to the turnbuckle. Violence pushes a chair on the ground a small distance from the turnbuckle. He then positions the other chair infront of him. At the same time both men complete their moves. Violence hooks Etoll up in a vertical suplex, then releases him and catches him around the waist as he falls down in a high impact piledriver onto the chair. Hades pulls 357 in at the same time that Violence lifts Etoll up in a suplex and pulls him up so that he's sitting on the turnbuckle. He then falls off of the turnbuckle and lands with 357's head crashing into the steel chair. The chorus of boos that comes from the crowd is deafening.

Hades "This is bullshit. We won this match and you bastards know it. That's not what's important though. What's important is the fact that we beat the hell out of these two morons, who couldn't keep their noses out of our business. So you're worth more here now 357? I don't think so you little punk. I don't see Flaws out here either. Looks like he doesn't even give a rat's ass about you. When you wake up you'll realize just how stupid you were to even open your mouth about us. And now on to Dan Etool. That's all you are. A tool. You're being used by this little punk 357 to make it to the top and you don't even know it. I'm fucking out of here!"

Violence "I warned you didn't I? I warned you both that you would get punished. And here you lie, in MY RING, like a pair of broken saplings, your life ebbing away. You thought that you'd come out here and break us down with your stupid little hardcore image, but instead, we beat the living shit out of you two pieces of midcard shit! Trust in Violence little man, for I am the new way."

B.A."I will guarentee that these two sick sons of bitches will get theirs. I don't know how, but I know they will. I'm Bill Altieri signing off for myself and for the foul mouthed Mr.D. Folks, once again I apologize for such a barbaric display this evening. Good riddance and good night."
