Last Week on Takedown......
The lights come back on, and Angel of Death is behind Adam Benjamin! Pearl Harbour attack while Black Widow sneaks ringside to grab the Money in the Bank briefcase! AOD capitalizes on the element of surprise, beating down Adam Benjamin with a series of stiff kicks and knees before grabbing a microphone.)
AOD: We're already scheduled for a cage match, Benjamin, but let's make it that much sweeter. Let's say the Money in the Bank title shot goes to the winner. And just so there's some incentive for you to accept the stipulation, I'm going to hold onto the contract for you until you do. You have until next week.
(He drops the microphone, then joins his wife on the ramp before they walk to the back. Benjamin slowly gets up and storms off to the back.)

Mellon Arena - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
"The Messiah" Karsten Femrite vs Kobra
[The lights dim as the familiar tune called Eye of the Tiger begins to blast over the PA System. The curtain parts and out steps Kar and SJ Femrite to the delight of the crowd. Kar begins to walk down the isle, hopping from one foot to the other as SJ walks behind him. He walks to the ring apron and stops. Looking around as the hood over his sweatshirt is over his head, he hops up to the apron and grabs the ropes. He throws his head back and removes the hood, as pyro explodes. He then steps into the ring and removes the sweatshirt, looking at the crowd.]
Shelley: This match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Mexico, Missouri, weighing in at 210 pounds, and guided to the ring by the lovely SJ, here is "The White Dragon" Kar Femrite!
(The stage alights with fireworks as Kobra makes his way down to the ring as "Get back" buy ludacris ft. Sum 41 plays all over the arena. He runs down with a purpose to the ring and rolls in standing on all 4 turnbukles.)
Shelley: And his opponent, from Frankfurt, Germany, weighing 386 lbs, Kobra!
The bell rings for the commencement of this match. Femrite attempts a lock up but Kobra ducks out of the way of it. Femrite takes a couple of steps towards Kobra and Kobra takes a couple of steps away from Femrite. Femrite questions this to the referee with Kobra responding with a middle finger directed at Femrite. Femrite then charges at Kobra with Kobra quickly, putting half his body over the ropes with Femrite trying to get his hands on him with Kobra telling the referee to get him off of him. The referee gets Femrite to back away but right when the referee isn’t looking. Kobra hits Femrite with an eye gouge with Femrite now blinded and the referee looking confused as to why.
Keith: Open your eyes ref!
Roger: He doesn’t need to open his eyes. He is doing a great job being blind as a bat.
Kobra then hits Femrite with a chop block. That sends Femrite to the canvas clutching his left leg. Kobra then grabs his left leg and drops a knee right on top of it. He then helps up Femrite and drops him with a European Uppercut. Now Femrite is on the canvas looking dazed. Kobra then crotches down and grabs Femrite by the neck and squeezes with a choke hold. He eventually lets go when the referee gets on his case about it. He then showboats with the crowd booing in disapproval of his actions.
Keith: He shouldn’t underestimate Femrite right now.
Roger: Many have done it before and many have fallen because of it.
Keith: He may not be the biggest guy in this company. But he sure as hell has the biggest heart and probably the most gifted athlete to ever grace a EUWC ring.
Kobra then walks towards to Femrite and hits him with little weak stomps to Femrite’s head. Showing disrespect towards Femrite with those stomps. He then delivers a vicious kick to Femrite’s ribs which cause him to fall to the outside of the ring. The referee begins the count with Kobra rolling out after Femrite. He then lifts up Femrite and attempts to send him back first into the guardrail but Femrite is able to reverse the Irish whip and instead sends Kobra back first into the guardrail. With Kobra now lying on the outside with agony on his face with the crowd cheering in approval.
Keith: Now Kobra is the one in pain.
Roger: Poor bastard. It’s not his fault he is stupid enough to underestimate Sugar Femrite.
Keith: Blame that on the public school system. Right Roger?
Roger: I was actually going to say the parents. But your answer is better.
Femrite then helps Kobra up to his feet. Kobra is now using the guardrail as support for him to stand up. And Femrite connects Kobra with vicious knife edge chops and open handed slaps right across Kobra’s chest multiple times with the crowd wooing in approval. Kobra tries walking away from Femrite but Femrite grabs him by the hair and rolls him back into the ring. He then slides in after him. Kobra tries to fight back but Femrite delivers a hard knee to his ribs to drop Kobra straight back into his knees. Femrite then grabs Kobra by the head and locks in a headlock then turns it into a devastating DDT. With Kobra now lying motionless on the canvas. Femrite then stands up with a smile on his face and raises his arms up and down with the fans cheering in approval.
Keith: I have a feeling the end is near for Kobra.
Femrite waits patiently for Kobra to get to his feet. Eventually he does get to his feet and rests in the corner. Femrite charges at him and connects Kobra with the Sugar Splash to the delight of the crowd. Kobra then walks out of the corner staggering, Femrite signals the end is near. He grabs Kobra by the head then hits him with the Messiah's Touch. The ref makes the count 1 . . . 2 . . . 3!
Shelley: Here is your winner, "The Messiah" Karsten Femrite!
Keith: Karsten Femrite picks up the win and proves to Leo Silver that he does deserve his pay-per-view slot!
Roger: Of course, he does.
Keith: Folks, after a great opening match, we gotta take a commerical break. We'll be right back!

Mellon Arena - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
The Monster & Barry Silvers vs Woad & Triple T
("Come Together" by Spiritualized plays and The Monster walks slowly and methodically to the ring, joined by George Johnson giving him instructions. The Monster steps onto the ring apron and over the top rope before standing central in the ring and slowly raising his arms, holding them up for a few seconds before returning to normal. Johnson slides into the ring and gives The Monster instructions before exiting the
ring and allowing The Monster to stand in his corner)
Shelley: This match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, Bucharest, Romania. Weighing 550lbs, The Monster!
("Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous" blares over the arena speakers as a full length stretch limo pulls into the house. The driver gets out, makes the long walk to the back and opens the passenger door as Silvers jumps out like a kid that have been cooped up in the car too long. They gets some loud boos but few whistles of approval from the ladies. Appearing indifferent to both, he stares at the ring and begins a long but seemingly disinterested walk to the squared circle. He slides under the bottom rope with a spry quickness and raises himself to a panther like position before drawing himself up to there full height.)
Shelly: And his tag team partner. From Hollywood, California. Weighing in at 223lbs, Barry Silvers!!!!
(The lights dim and the opening strains of Blind Guardian's 'Nightfall' play. Spotlights focus on the entranceway as the first verse runs...)
No sign of life did flicker
In floods of tears she cried
"All hope's lost it can't be undone
They're wasted and gone!"
(An explosion of sparks cloud the entrance, and as the song jumps to the chorus, the wrestler known only as Woad walks through, and down the ramp.)
Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony
(The song continues in instrumental as Woad rolls into the ring, and the lights return. The music fades out.)
Shelley: And their opponents, introducing first, from Glenburnie, Ontario, Canada. Weighing in at 185lbs. Woad!
("Thunderstruck" by Metallica blares over the loudspeaker. The fans rise to their feet as all attention is diverted to the entranceway. Fireworks engulf the set as TTT walks through the fireworks and stands tall at the top of the stage. He walks to the ring with business on his mind. TTT hops onto the apron and jumps over the top rope and ascends the corner turnbuckle. At this exact moment, fireworks go off behind him as well as from the top of the arena. The lights come back up as the music fades and TTT does some last minute strategizing.)
Shelly: And his tag team partner. From Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Weighing in at 230lbs. "Thunder" Trevor Thomas!
The referee calls for the bell as TTT and Silvers both exit the ring, leaving Woad and Monster to begin the match. Monster comes to the centre of the ring, and Woad is drawn forward too. They both engage in a grapple in the centre of the ring, which is quickly turned into a headlock in Monster’s favour. Monster squeezes tight but Woad shoves him off into the rope. Monster hits the ropes but comes back to hit a shoulder block. Woad hits the mat as Monster sets off to the ropes. Woad rolls underneath, jumps to his feet, goes for the leapfrog, but Monster halts in front of Woad. Woad’s feet hit the mat after returning to ground from the jump and gets clobbered with a right hand. Woad is sent stumbling back against the ropes and Monster continues on the offensive. Woad is only kept on his feet by the ropes and they stop him from escaping the hard knife-edge chops that Monster delivers to his chest.
Roger: Horrible chops. Can you hear that sound?
Woad grits his teeth in pain before reaching out for his partners hand. Monster sees that he is only inches from making the tag and quickly jabs him in the ribs, causing Woad’s arm to snap back down to cover himself. Monster then whips Woad across the ring. Monster drops his head as Woad returns, only to be kicked in the face. Monster’s head snaps back violently as Woad charges. However, Monster is still able to lift Woad high into the air and hits a back body drop. Woad lands on his upper back but instinct gets him straight back to his feet. Monster takes a second to recover from the kick to the nose but sees Woad coming at him. Woad is lifted up and then sat down over Monster’s knee in an atomic drop. Monster keeps Woad there as he reaches behind him. Silvers slaps his hand and enters the match.
Keith: Silvers is tagged in and he’s going to the top rope.
Silvers climbs to the top turnbuckle as Woad nurses the injuries to his private areas. Silvers lines Woad up before flying over Monster’s head and catching Woad with a flying clothesline. Silvers rolls through, across to TTT corner. From the forward rolls, Silvers gets to his feet and slaps TTT off the ring apron.
Roger: Whoa!
TTT falls to ringside as, on the opposite side of the ring, Monster exits to the ring apron. Silvers suddenly dives on Woad to make the cover. 1…2… TTT dives in the ring and pulls Silvers off Woad. TTT lifts Silvers to his feet but the referee is quick to get between the tow of them and show TTT his corner. Silvers and TTT share words of trash before Silvers turns his attention back to Woad. Woad is already on his feet and is ready and waiting to hit a knee to the stomach. Silvers leans over, winded, before Woad quickly hits a snap suplex. Silvers quickly gets back to his feet as does Woad. Silvers turns straight into a dropkick to the face and he is levelled in the centre of the ring.
Keith: He caught him flush on the chin. That could be it.
Realising he has done some damage, Woad dives on top of Silvers and covers him. 1…2… Kick out by Silvers. Woad grabs Silvers by the head before driving his elbow into his nose, and again, and again, each time lifting his head off the mat so there is no support behind it. Woad then gets to his feet, hauling Silvers up with him. Woad slams Silvers into his own corner and tags in TTT.
Keith: The former multi-time tag team champion enters the match for the first time.
Both men hit kicks to the stomach of Silvers before Silvers falls into a seated position. Woad then exits under orders from the referee but TTT continues with the kicks. TTT quickly tags Woad back in and they begin double-teaming once again. Woad and TTT lay the kicks into Silvers before TTT is forced from the ring by the referee. Silvers is lifted to his feet by Woad, who drags him across the ropes. In the centre of the ropes, Silvers is then whipped across the ring. Woad chases him and, as Silvers comes off the ropes, he is knocked to the floor with a flying lariat. Woad hooks the leg and makes the cover. 1…2… Silvers lifts his shoulders off the mat. Woad doesn’t hesitate and only gets back to his feet, dragging his opponent up with him. Woad sets him up for a suplex and lifts him high up into the air.
Keith: Spinning Vertical Suplex! Great move. And the cover. 1…2…No. Kick out.
Woad cannot believe it but the kick out makes him even more determined to beat Silvers down. He gets to his feet before dropping a revolving leg drop across the throat of Silvers. Another cover follows. 1…2…
Keith: Another kick out. Silvers is holding on.
Roger: He desperately needs a tag.
Woad gets to his feet and stares down at the grounded Silvers. He then looks to the top turnbuckle before starting to climb. He reaches the top as Silvers Silvers is just beginning to move. Woad eyes him up like a hawk as Silvers gradually get to his feet. Silvers turns and Woad flies at him with a missile dropkick. Silvers sees it coming and dives out of the firing line, towards TTT’s corner, leaving Woad to fall hard on his lower back.
Keith: Silvers moved. Here is his chance.
Roger: He can’t move. He is too exhausted!
Silvers begins to get to his feet and looks across the ring to see Monster wanting a tag. Silvers gets to his feet and begins to staggers across the ring. He begins to run but is suddenly levelled with a huge spear by Woad. Woad then unleashes a flurry of mounted punches to the face of Silvers. The referee sees closed fists being used and hauls Woad off Silvers. The referee puts himself in between Woad and the grounded Silvers. Woad is confused at what the referee is upset about as he gets an earful of the rulebook from the official. Finally, Woad gets to continue his attack and lifts Silvers to his feet. Woad scoops up Silvers and bodyslams him down to the mat. Woad climbs to the top rope and leaps off with the Thistle It Down. TTT runs across the ring and takes out The Monster as Woad goes a pin. The ref makes the cover 1 . . . 2 . . . 3!
Shelley: Here are your winnners, Woad and Triple T!
Keith: Woad and Triple T have won the match but . . . oh oh! Wait a minute!
The ref raises Woad's hand and TTT attacks him from behind. TTT punches and kicks Woad into the corner. Silvers comes up and attacks TTT. The Monster gets into the ring and pummels Silvers and Woad. TTT jumps on Monster's back and a four man fight ensures. Then, Ray Santana runs down to the ring followed by Aaron Andrews, Tommy MacKeegan, and Johnny Regal. Now it's a full-on eight man brawl. The lockerrom empties of its referees and officials. They attempt to break up the brawl but are unsuccessful.
Keith: There is chaos in the ring and we gotta go to the commerical break. Hopefully, when we come back, order will be restored and we can continue on with this blockbuster night! Stay tuned!

Benjamin picks up Jared and hooks up into a fisherman's suplex/pin. The ref counts 1 . . . 2 . . . 3!
Shelley: Here is your winner, "Yours Truly" Adam Benjamin!
Keith: Benjamin has just won his first match on Takedown but he is still without his Money In The Bank Briefcase.
Roger: Guess he won't be getting his title shot if he doesn't have the briefcase.
Keith: Benjamin is the true owner of that briefcase but AOD stole it last week.
"Angel" by Nine Inch Nails hits the air as Angel of Death walks onto the ramp, carrying the Money in the Bank briefcase.
AOD: Adam! This title shot is now on the line in our cage match at Exile. Now, as promised, I return this to you until Exile.
He places the briefcase at the top of the ramp, and walks backstage. Adam Benjamin cautiously walks up the ramp. As he reaches for the briefcase, the lights go out. A few minutes later, the lights come back on, and we find the cage attached to the ring, with Adam Benjamin handcuffed to the cage wall, positioned as if crucified. The Money in the Bank briefcase is
attached to the cage wall above him, and painted on it are the words "Adam Benjamin, May 28, 2006"
Keith: AOD has handcuffed Banjamin to the cage and apparently the Money In The Bank title shot is on the line at eXile!
Roger: AOD has obviously gotten into the head of Benjamin.
Keith: We're going to get him free during the commerical and we'll be right back with more EUWC Takedown!

EUWC North American Champion Artur Arina & Cuchulain vs
EUWC International Champion Hawkeye & Tony Delucci
(The opening bent chords of U2's 'Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me' play, and as the drums kick in the lights go crazy. The power chords take over, and as the settle down into the final crash of cymbals before the first verse, one large burst of blue sparks light up in a line across the rampway. As the smoke clears, Cuchulain appears from behind the curtain, escorted by the Morrigan.)
You don't know how you took it
You just know what you got
Oh Lordy you've been stealing
From the theives and you got caught
In the headlights

You're a big smash
You wear it like a rash
