Episode 2 May 19, 2008 Globen Arena Stockholm, Sweden   Earlier Tonight "The Hitman" Tony DeLucci "The Hitman" walks into the arena, dressed in a suit and tie of blue and steel gray. His hair is still wet from the shower he had no more than twenty-five minutes ago. But, in a subtle attempt to save some grace and prestige, he does have it brushed straight back. Tony and his fine-fashion attire are not alone though, his long time friend and in-ring partner of many years is of course along with him tonight.   "The Ripper" is currently wearing a finely hemmed and pleated suit of the finest materials, more red than white of course, with top of the line shoes of a solid artic white and matching laces. The only outright difference between the two men right at this moment, other than their choice in attire, is that Jack's hair is bone dry.   They walk past a group of wayward reporters and general labourers who are standing near the main entrance to the building, a doorway which is several meters from the door that Tony and Jack just used. Neither man go out their collective way to avoid nor make their presence known to the reporters just yet. However their efforts, or lack thereof, are soon no longer of a concern as the reporters soon spark to life and quickly buzz their way full tilt. Jack and Tony soon find themselves surrounded by all makes and models of microphones, recorders, and video cameras; each one just desperately warranting the first words.   A collage of reporters' voices ask aloud, "Excuse me! Gentlemen, excuse me! Just a couple of questions...please."   Both men are prepared to speak their individual and team minds on several sparse subjects, but neither man show sign of wishing to oblige anyone other than themselves at this time and make such very clear to all quickly.   Tony speaks first.   "Each and every single one of you hypocritic vultures of the media world best shut those holes you call mouths, start using those peanuts that are supposed to be your brains, and listen to what we are about to say because we will NOT be repeating any of this to any of you..."   Jack continues with, "Before tonight, none of you wished to fill any of your t.v. schedules with what either of us wanted to say or show you and the general public. But now, now you all want us to throw attention your way. Well, Tony and I have decided that from here on out, for the most part...we don't want you. More importantly, and to put it all in simplier terms for you to understand...we don't need you - any of you!"   Tony smiles with, "If and when either one of us, or both of us, have something we want any of you or the anyone else to see or hear...we will make it happen in our own way. Not your way. OUR way!"   "Cause you see, keeping in line with us getting back to basics...we realised that we have no use for you - for any of you. We realised that you people, or even the mere thought of people like you, was a true waste of time...time we will now be using preparing ourselves for bigger and better things."   Jack interupts with, "And speaking of bigger and better things, instead of allowing ourselves to carry on with you media gophers any longer...I am going to get myself and, more importantly, my partner away from you and continue on with our preparations for his match tonight against Krueger and Choker."   Jack and Tony grin at the mere mention of leaving all these reporters and such behind them as Jack comfortably pushes Tony further into the depths of the arena and away from their present environment of electronic-driven hell. Both men roll their eyes and give a sigh of relief, grateful that this part of their night is now over and done with - they can return all their efforts on the real matters of business for them tonight.   Show Intro "Do It or Die" by Die Mannequin blares and the EUWC logo fades into a barrage of action shots including STEALTH walking out to the stage with his EUWC World Heavyweight Championship, Jay Smash delivering the Smash Attack to an opponent, Lord Alucard coming to the ring... Braden Kincaid defeating DDS with the Thrill Ride... Chris Comet with Cindy Youngblood after winning the EUWC European Title, Nero on the set of Sunday Nero Live, Dan Ryan & Daymon in front of an EUWC backdrop holding the Tag Team Titles... Angel of Death and Adam Benjamin going at it towards backstage... Diabolic Forces entering... A flash of more tag team action... then a shot of Sean Taylor delivering the Blood Rush just before the scene explodes into the Onslaught logo as EUWC Onslaught opens up to the Globen Arena in Stockholm with thousands in attendance for EUWC Onslaught. John: Ladies and gentlemen hello and welcome from Stockholm Sweden! Scott: We are in the Globen Arena! This is Onslaught!! John: And what a show we had last week, but this one has the potential to blow last week's show out of the water! Scott: This is the final Onslaught before Blood Bath which means everyone in that locker room is on edge tonight! John: As they should be.  Blood Bath is typically one of the largest events of the year!  That 20 Man Blood Bath Match has everyone with a target painted on their chests! Scott: That's right!  And tonight we have the chance to see a Blood Bath in our main event!  The EUWC World Tag Team Championship will be on the line when Champions Rocko Daymon & "The Ego Buster" Dan Ryan defend the gold against Angel of Death and a mystery partner!! John: But that isn't all!  The World Heavyweight Champion STEALTH will be the Special Referee in that encounter! Scott: Plus we will see the United States Championship on the line as "Yours Truly" Adam Benjamin defends the gold against Texas Lightning! John: Texas Lightning has been meaner than ever since returning several months ago.  Can he finally take home EUWC Gold? Scott: Plus we will see the Tag Team Contenders Tournament continue tonight live right here in Stockholm. John: And three men will do battle do gain the coveted final spot in the 20 Man Blood Bath Match!  Choker, Jason Krueger and Tony DeLucci will engage in a war! Scott: And that will kick off our program, but before we throw it to the ring, our cameras have once again caught up with Tony DeLucci... Take a look... Scott & John send us to the back..... Backstage Segment "The Hitman" Tony DeLucci The door gets kicked open as "The Hitman" Tony DeLucci makes his way through and down the joining hall. We do not see any signs of pent up anger, fenced in frustration, or barrels of determination waiting to be unleashed coming from DeLucci at this point. At the same time, however, no one is dare foolish enough to take that at full face value. We all know that it is there, just waiting for the right place and time to be set free among the masses. Luckily, this is neither the precise time nor the correct place.   But it will be soon.   In less than one full hour's time Tony DeLucci will finally find himself in the squared-circle with two other competitors - all three aiming for some of the same goals. In less than 60 minutes the thousands in attendance and the millions upon millions watching from the comfort of their homes and neighbourhood bars witness the extreme talent and superiority that is "The Hitman". And within the very same token of time, "The Hitman" Tony DeLucci will be authorized and empowered by his own god given nature to put in practice what he and his tag team partner have been planning and training for all week long - for a golden victory to be brought back to Cold Blooded's side of the world.   Tony brings himself to a halt and begins to slowly tilt his head around. It tilts just enough to enable him to look back down the stretch of hallway he had just travelled. He smirks almost silently as he confirms his pseudo-solitude for the time being prior to going back on his way, now with a more casual and head strong pace.   "Have you ever had the feeling as though you were about to accomplish something great, but you were not sure what exactly that something was?" he questions aloud. "Don't get me wrong, I have been able to get many great things done inside and outside...and even around, the ring...but even nowadays, from time to time, I still tend to get that feeling again."   Another doorway crosses Tony's path, an obstacle which is solved this time with a cooler and calmer predisposition. He swings the double doors open and glides through them. It is becoming blantantly apparent to us now that Tony is building up in confidence and esteem the closer he gets to the ring and the closer the time gets for his match this evening.   "I guess I could just say I am feeling this way tonight because tonight is going to be special...special for more than just one lonely reason mind you. We all know that tonight is going to be the first step towards myself and Jack stepping ever closer to greatness and godliness here in the EUWC. Tonight will also be the night that I will be able to punch my exclusive ticket to being an active member at Blood Bath, a ticket which "The Hitman" will surely cash in to its fullest extent."   Tony comes to a stop again, this time he pivets himself as to allow himself to rest his back against the wall softly. He folds his arms across his chest and sighs twice before continuing to speak.   "But before truly looking forward to tonight, I am going to take a moment or two and go over what recently has led us here in the first place. That being the actions and words from my two opponents tonight, Choker and Krueger."   "Earlier this week, both Choker and Krueger stated supposed facts that they had a sense of wrath, a sense of aggression, a sense of hatred in store for me for tonight. They both carried themselves as being the ones who were going to knotch another loss on my side of things. As though one of them was going to walk away tonight with their hand raised instead of my own. They said all this thinking, damn near hoping, that some of it would unsettle or unnerve me enough as that I would let any of it actually happen. But they forgot about a few things..."   Tony uncrosses his arms and has them fall halfway near his waist bringing them to life by using each hand to aide in pointing out the following, "They forgot that I have been around the EUWC too long for either of them to keep me away from a win. I have tasted championship gold before tonight, and I will have it again after tonight - neither of them will stand in the way of that, especially not tonight. In simplest terms...those two men have said far too much and have done far too little to warrant any more of my free time here and now on them."   "It's time for me to return my concentration back to tonight, and what it is that will be making tonight so special."   Tony pushes himself from resting against the wall. His march down the hallway, towards the ring, is on again.   "The best part about what will be making tonight special is that I will be  returning myself and Jack to greatness and godliness while locking in my ticket to Blood Bath by soundly beating, pummeling, and outright outwrestling Choker and Krueger. I am going to make those two men scream in pain...all sorts of pain. They may think that they know what they are getting themselves into tonight...and on some other night, they may have been right, but not tonight."   "Not on a night where 'The Hitman' and 'The Ripper' have so much going in their favour," states Tony as a more obvious grin crawls across his face. A few moments of emptiness passes us before "The Hitman" is once again joined by his tag team partner, "The Ripper". And now, together again, Cold Blooded hold their heads up high and push on through the last doorway before stepping onto the entrance way to the ring.   Blood Bath Qualification Match Choker vs Jason Krueger vs "The Hitman" Tony DeLucci Kandi Reed: The following triple threat match has been scheduled for one fall, where the winner will advance into the 20 Man Steel Cage Battle Royal at Blood Bath.

[Choker enters the ring and awaits for his opponents.] Kandi Reed: And the opponent, weighing in tonight at 400 pounds from the fiery pits of hell – Jason Krueger! [“Out of the Fire” by Type O Negative blasts as Jason Krueger walks out to an explosion of pyro on the stage.

["Requiem (The Filth)” by Trans-Siberian Orchestra starts up as Tony Delucci heads out of the curtain and onto the stage. He stands before the fans looking down at his opponents in the ring. When he reaches the bottom of the ramp, Tony enters and finds an open corner where the all three men are separated ready for a good match.] John: Here it goes, the ref is in the ring the bell’s about to sound, nothing better in my opinion to see three impressive superstars facing each other for an opportunity of a lifetime! Scott: You took the words right out of my… that was my line… John: You really think I’m going by a script just because it’s a new show? Scott: At least let me have my lines! John: Don’t forget ladies and gentlemen, Onslaught is brought to you by Stanizol… Rub on Stanizol. [Back inside the ring, the referee has completed checking on the superstars and sounds the bell for the match to begin. The three men in the ring begin to maneuver themselves towards the center of the ring when Jason Krueger suddenly becomes the target for Tony and Choker! Both men try to beat the 400 pound monster down with fists to the face and clubs to the back. Before they can get the big man down, Krueger fires himself up, and grabs both men by the throat! Tony lays a kick to Krueger’s mid section, followed by another by Choker. Both men reverse the move into a double team suplex to the giant!] Scott: Great team work by Choker and Delucci but they are still opponents, and that will prove problems later on after they slow down Jason Krueger. [Krueger still holds onto his back after being slammed to the canvas. Delucci and Choker stand and look down at Krueger, when Delucci looks up and strike Choker with a thumb to the eye out of no where. Choker tries to holds his eye through the mask, but having trouble. Tony pushes Choker into the corner and delivers a couple shoulder thrusts, followed by a whip to the opposite end of the ring. Choker is stopped after his back hits the turnbuckle on the other end of the ring. Tony makes his way over, when Krueger stands in the way with a big boot! As Choker begins to take steps out of the corner, Krueger races over and splashes Choker back into the corner, crushing out the air from his lungs, and leaving him gasping for air! Krueger doesn’t stop, as he lifts Choker and takes him down with a two handed chokeslam!] John: And Krueger has got the match wrapped around his finger. These guys don’t stand a chance. [Krueger goes for the pin as the ref drops and begins to count. 1! 2! Delucci counters the pin with a leg drop to the back of Krueger’s neck! Krueger falls off Choker and turns his body, lying back first on the mat. Delucci delivers a flying fist to Krueger’s skull, knowing up his multiple fractures. Delucci quickly goes for a cover. 1! 2! Krueger pushes Delucci off and sends him flying back out of the pinning position.] Scott: It’s all about strength with Krueger. He’s got so much power for Choker and Delucci to overcome. John: Yeah, but it looks like Choker has an idea of how to keep the big guy down! [From inside the ring, Choker heads to the top turnbuckle while Krueger makes his way back up to his feet. When Krueger arises, Choker dives off the top with a crossbody, but Krueger catches Choker and takes a couple steps back, followed by a fallaway slam over the top rope and to the outside of the ring! Choker is left bending his back off the surface at ringside after cracking it against the floor from nearly a flight down of about 13 to 14 feet in the air. Back inside the ring, Delucci leaps up to grab Krueger, pulling him down into a neckbreaker! Delucci quickly applies the Payback! Delucci has the submission hold near perfect on Krueger, and he can’t seem to take the threshold of pain to his legs. Delucci keeps the move applied with much anticipation of a victory, but the giant tries to keep himself in the match by reaching out for the ropes. Krueger nearly gives up when Choker rolls back into the ring holding his back and dives at Deucci with a flying forearm to the back of Delucci’s head!] John: A close one! Krueger was about to tap when Choker saved the match! [After the forearm, Choker holds onto Delucci and pushes him towards the ropes and throws him through, to the outside of the ring. Delucci holds on to the second rope, Choker unaware heads over to Krueger and wraps his hands around Krueger’s throat for the Chokers Elbow! As Choker lifts up to deliver the elbows to the chest, Delucci is back in the ring, catching Choker’s lifts legs and pulls Choker off! Choker slams his hands against the mat and stands up quickly but does not spot Delucci. Delucci races towards the ropes behind Choker, and on the return, Choker turns to find Delucci heading in for The Mark of a Deadman! Choker ducks and as Krueger stands, Delucci connects but Krueger does not go down! Delucci notices that he hit Krueger, and backs up to hits the ropes a second time. Delucci returns for the second Mark of a Deadman, but Krueger is merely stunned, remaining on his feet. Delccu can’t seem to get the big guy down, and turns for one last effort to find Choker quickly catching Delucci on the run and turns him over for a Tombstone!] Scott: Woah! What a way to set him up! Delucci racing to the ropes but Coker catches him off guard, and right away turns him into a Tombstone Pilrdriver! [Choker sends Delucci down and goes for the pin, but Krueger does not stand by as he stands staring down at Choker who realizes Krueger is there. Choker looks up and rolls away while Krueger picks Delucci up and lifts his up by the throat. Krueger plants Delucci up on the turnbuckle and calls out for Supreme Krueger when Choker interferes with a sidekick to Krueger’s back! Krueger turns around with fiery eyes and begins to move quickly towards Choker. Choker rolls away from Krueger’s attacks and continues to deliver kicks when he can to slow Krueger down. When Choker tries to deliver a sidekick to Krueger, his leg is finally caught and Krueger pulls Choker in closer. Krueger lifts Choker up by the legs and races to the ring ropes when he delivers a spinebuster to Choker to the outside of the ring! Back inside, Delucci stands on the top turnbuckle while Krueger turns. Delucci takes a dives off the top, but Krueger counters, grabbing Delucci’s neck into the Supreme Krueger!!! Delucci’s body slams against the canvas rough, and his body swings around, now leaving him motionless on his back. Krueger goes for the cover. 1! 2! Delucci lifts his leg and drops it on the bottom rope, thus stopping the three count right away! The referee motions to Krueger of the rope break and Krueger stands irritated at the ref’s decision. Before Krueger can turn, Delucci drops the 400 pound man back into a school boy rollup as the referee drops down and Krueger tries to kick his legs hard to push out. 1! 2! 3! The ref calls for the bell and the match comes to a bitter end, as Delucci manages to pull off the victory with a rollup! Delucci rolls out of the ring after releasing Krueger. Krueger stands with his hands on his hand, he cannot believe he was fooled with the pin.] Kandi Reed: Here is your winner, now advancing to Blood Bath’s 20 Man Steel Cage match, “The Hit Man” Tony Delucci!   Backstage Segment "The Southwest Icon" Texas Lightning Staci Seymore walks around the back of the arena, mindlessly as she sips slowly on a cup of Swedish coffee, when she turns and bumps into the challenger for the United States title match tonight, Texas Lightning, and then stumbles back as Lightning stares her down for burning him with her coffee.  He looks down at his $200 silk shirt, now covered in coffee and steam coming off the coffee stains and looks back at her. Seymore:  Oh hell.  I’m sorry.  I….I …. Oh fu-----. TL:  Hmm.. Payback from Java Jacks, I see.  Seymore:  Oh damn…. TL:  Don’t worry, it’s ok. Seymore:  So, what about tonight?? TL:  Tonight.  After seven years in the EUWC, I have no singles gold over that seven years to show for my work.  Tonight, that changes.  You see, Staci, I face Adam Benjamin for the United States Title.  And don’t get me wrong, I have had my chances before, but tonight, I am going to get what some are saying is my last chance to walk away with singles gold.  So, Adam, you haven’t said much lately, and tonight, you have to think long and hard what your mouth hasn’t been able to get out and that is how you are going to beat a Southwest ICON?  It’s simple, you are not going to.  I have here (grabs a two by four with some rusty nails and barbed wire on it) what you will have to endure tonight, it’s my multi-pointed suppository, and it has a place in mind….right up your ass.  Tonight, you get the royal Southwestern treatment, and when all is done, I will walk away with the United States Title and the right to face three other champions at BloodBath, well…actually two little boys and a burnt out star man who makes Spotlight Spencer Powers look bright by being darker than two wet sticks as well as my eventual win as the BloodBath Money in the Bank Holder. Seymore:  So…so…you not mad about the shirt…. TL:  Oh no..(takes the shirt off, takes a good look at it, then smiles….then abruptly frowns)….GO CLEAN IT YOU BITCH!!  (throws it at Staci and hits her square in the face with it) As Texas Lightning walks away, Staci is left standing there with a coffee-stained white shirt on her head and face.  She begins to sob.   Some of the Swedish fans walk by and strike up a conservation. Swedish fan 1:  Något folk rättvis icke gör det få någon respektera. (Some people just don't get any respect.) Swedish fan 2:  Du fik så pass rätt , så pass Texas Blixtar fik ingen härfram.  (You got that right, that Texas Lightning got none from her.) Swedish fan 1:  Dum hyndan. (Stupid bitch.) Staci continues to sob with the shirt on her head…uncontrollably.        ~~~ Commercial Break ~~~ Live on Pay Per View!     Backstage Segment "Commander" T. Waring [We return from the break to see John Shaft and Scott Marchman seated at the commentary box. The camera is focused on John] John: Welcome back from the Break. We have heard that T. Waring, the person who was the victim of Classy Mike C’s assault last week, is ready to speak to us. He comes to us via Satellite from his home in Orlando, Florida. Welcome T. Waring Waring: Thanks guys, always a pleasure to talk to you. John: Ok, the first and most obvious question is why do you think Mike attacked you last week? Waring: Why did he attack me. Honestly, I think its because he is jealous of what I have become. Yes, It is true that years ok, he did train me, but also remember that I have trained myself. Mike reckons that he taught me everything I know. I can tell you, that is a complete lie. Mike taught me a lot, but what he didn’t teach me he has become jealous of. John: So you out it down to Jealousy, even though he had had a more successful career to date. Waring: You’re right he has *had* a better career. But also he is a lot older then me and also he has aged a lot more. You see Mike may have won his world title, and yes he did beat me, albeit he cheated and had to use a weapon to. Mike made the wild 52 title his own. What Mike fails to realise is this. He has won all these titles in the past. What has he done recently. Not a lot. He even had to beg his former trainee to try help him win a match, and get him to the world title. Mike, I was never going to help you, because if I did I would end up stealing that title back off you. John: So even if you did help him, eventually you would have taken the title off him, or tried? Waring: Yes, because its ever wrestlers main goal to be top of the pile. He said he wanted to help me see International Gold, but honestly what can he do that I cant do already. I had Grayson beat, I beat those losers in RBW Raid to capture my first Euro title and I won a match at Summer Sizzler to get my second. Where was Mike then? Oh I remember. He was playing threesome with the Moundfields. You see, I never needed his help to be a champion. But he wanted to help me because he has grown desperate for a title. He fears he has become a forgotten champion, but the reality is, he will never even touch any title again. He is just desperate. John: Mike C challenged you to a match at Blood Bath. What do you say to his challenge? Waring: Well, I thought long and hard about it. With the Blood bath match itself I thought, should I just focus on that. But then I thought what if I beat and EUWC legend and got the number 1 contenders shot as well. You see John, me and Mike have only faced each other once. That was our world title fight at Exile, the submission match. Yes I did lose that match. But I have become much stronger. So Mike in answer to your challenge, I do not accept you idea for a singles match. No no, I have one better. You attacked me with a steel chair last week, and I want my revenge. So what I propose to you, is a LAST MAN STANDING MATCH at Blood Bath. I know how much you love your hardcore matches, and I’m pretty happy to dish out some pain. So what do you say champ? John: WOW! T. Waring has just challenged Mike C to a Last Man standing match! I cant wait Scott: Neither can I. But we must head to the ring now for our next contest!       Tag Team Contenders Tournament The Darkstar Brothers vs Diabolic Forces ["Texas When I Die" by Tanya Tucker starts playing, as David and Keith come to ringside, both carrying a huge Texas state flag.

Scott: And the Darkstar Brothers cannot be happy with that!   Backstage Segment Special Appearance - EUWC Almunus Beast EUWC alumnus Beast is walking backstage when he is approached by intrepid EUWC reporter Eddie Olson. Olson: Beast! Good to see you again! You don't happen to be here to be AOD's partner in the main event, are you? Beast: Well, Eddie, don't dance around the subject, why don't you just come out and ask me? (they share a laugh) No, I'm not here for that. I was on vacation in the area, and heard that the EUWC was going to be here, so I stopped by to see some old friends. So if you don't mind, Eddie ... Olson: Certainly! Like I said, good to see you! Beast: You too, Eddie. You too. Eddie heads off as Beast continues on towards the backstage area. Suddenly, he is hit from behind by a two by four, breaking the wood in half. Beast turns, rage rising in his face, only to discover the masked men, who promptly take off at a run. Beast, hell-bent on revenge, chases after them.   ~~~ Commercial Break ~~~ Live on Pay Per View!   EUWC United States Championship Match Champion - "Yours Truly" Adam Benjamin vs "The Southwest Icon" Texas Lightning - Challenger   ["The Final Countdown" By Europe begins to play As "Yours Truly" Adam Benjamin emerges though the entrance way.

Without warning, Benjamin nails a low blow on Lightning and turns him around and takes him down with a huge belly to belly suplex! Benjamin goes for a cover on Lightning. The referee sees this and goes for the count 1..2..Lightning kicks out! Benjamin cant believe it and begins to pick up Lightning but Lightning fights back with lefts and rights and whips Benjamin into the ropes. Lightning bends down for a shoulder back toss but Benjamin nails Lightning with a running DDT! A recovering Sassy Stephanie climbs up the apron but receives a clothesline from Benjamin for his troubles. Benjamin then climbs up on the top rope and flies off with a moonsault on Lightning! The referee counts 1..2..Lightning barely gets the shoulder up. Scott! MOONSAULT BY Benjamin! John: Get up TL! Get up! Benjamin picks up Lightning and sets him up for the Shining Wizard. Benjamin charges toward TL, but Lightning hits a superkick to Benjamin's gut, but before Benjamin can go down, Lightning hits another superkick square on the jaw! Scott: THE LIGHTNING STRIKE! John: This one is over!!! Lightning falls onto Benjamin and hooks the leg as the ref counts 1... 2... THREE! John: We have a winner! Kandi: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner and the NEW EUWC United States Champion.... "The Southwest Icon" Texas Lightning!!!! Scott: For the very first time in his EUWC career, TL is wearing EUWC Gold! John: And he is celebrating now, but he can't celebrate for long! Now TL has taken Benjamin's spot in the Four Way Unification Match at Blood Bath! Scott: Indeed. And that battle will be a tall order for the Southwest Icon!   ~~~ Commercial Break ~~~ Live on Pay Per View!     "The Ironman" Buck Naked vs "The Crippler" Joe Boyer "Perfect Crime" by Guns n' Roses begins to play. Joe "The Crippler" Boyer walks to the ring wearing a jersey from the local sports team. He reaches the ring, takes off the jersey and tosses it into the crowd. Kandi: Introducing first, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at two hundred and twenty pounds, here is Joe "The Crippler" Boyer!! Boyer plays to the audience as "Smooth" by Santana begins to echo through the room. Kandi: His opponent, from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at two hundred and ninety pounds, here is "The Iron Man" Buck Naked! Buck struts to the ring under neon-esque spotlights. Paying extra special attention to the ladies in the audience, he very slowly gets into the ring. He winks at Kandi as he walks past her before climbing the ropes to work the crowd. He climbs each corner and poses before settling in to his proper corner. Marchment: Boyer's giving up eight inches and seventy pounds to the former two time World Champion here John. Shaft: But Boyer's got a slight advantage over Buck, Bryan. Marchment: What's that, John? Shaft: He's not got someone after him, Bryan. After the attack from last week, I wouldn't be surprised if AOD makes an appearance tonight! John's words seem to echo in the mind of Buck Naked as the bell sounds to start the match. Buck looks around the audience for a few seconds before locking up with Boyer. Boyer takes advantage of the distraction, hitting a knee lift on the former champion. A clubbing blow drops Buck to one knee, but that only allows Buck to sweep Boyer up into a fireman's carry. Shaft: Buck showing his experience there, taking Boyer's advantage away from him. Boyer struggles out of the fireman's carry and back onto his feet behind Buck. He runs Buck to the ropes, but Buck holds on, sending Boyer rolling backwards on the rebound. Boyer advances once more, but receives a mule kick to the belly for his trouble. Marchment: Wait a moment, what's this? Black Widow appears ringside from the crowd as Angel of Death runs down the entrance ramp. AOD climbs onto the ring apron in the corner behind Buck, removing the top turnbuckle pad while Buck and Boyer continue to battle back and forth. Buck shoots Boyer into the ropes, where Black Widow lays in wait to pull Boyer from the ring. As Buck realizes what's happened to Boyer, AOD climbs into the ring behind him. Buck turns to look for AOD, where he meets AOD's boot in the gut. AOD pulls Buck to the corner, ramming his head hard into the exposed turnbuckle. Buck staggers back, and AOD follows up with a hail of stiff forearm shots to Buck's busted open forehead, giving his nemesis a crimson mask. Shaft: Buck's bleeding like a stuck pig! Marchment: It's gushing from the wound like a leaky faucet! AOD shoots Buck into the ropes, leveling him with the Six Feet Under STO. He collects a small crystal vial on a silver chain from Black Widow at ringside. Filling the vial with the gushing blood from Buck's forehead, he then hangs the vial around his neck. He stands over Buck, a sick smile crossing his face before he collects a microphone. AOD: "Now I have what I wanted, Buck." He licks the blood from his fingers. AOD: "I've tasted your blood now, Buck, and I can't wait until Blood Bath when I can shed even more of it. You may have thought you knew what you were getting into when you involved yourself in my business, but you have no clue what you will be facing come Blood Bath. Change is in the air, Buck. You'll learn soon enough what's in store." ~~~ Commercial Break ~~~ Live on Pay Per View!     Backstage Segment Angel of Death & Black Widow [If the vial of blood was not enough, AOD is found backstage with Black Widow talking it up as they keep the vial on the coffee table in front of them. As they continue to converse, there is a knock at the door and the eyes of both AOD and Black Widow taking a look up.] AOD: Expecting anyone? [Black Widow stands up from the couch and walks over to the door, she turns the knob, the door opens but nobody is there.] Black Widow: It’s nothing. I’m getting something to drink. You need to get your gear on. AOD: I’ll take a water, I’ll be ready before you get back… [As Black Widow exits and turns the corner, AOD sits there until a knock at the door once again.] AOD: Who is it? [When nobody answers, AOD looks around the room till he grabs a framed picture off the wall and holds it as if he is trying to protect himself towards the door. When AOD opens the door, once again nobody is there.] Scott: I’m not sure what is going on backstage, but it looks like someone is giving AOD the creeps. John: I guess the EUWC has a boogeyman present tonight. [AOD steps out of the room with the frame, but when nothing appears to be threatening, he drops the picture down, turns and heads back into the room. Before he has a chance to shut the door, it appears that the two black masked men walk in with AOD and shut the door.] AOD: What the hell? [A final number of shouts are heard from the room until the sound of AOD’s voice has silenced.] Scott: What was that!?! Those masked men have done it again! They are attacking our superstars, what the hell is going on? John: Someone needs to get to that room immediately! Where the hell is security?   In-Ring Segment Rocko Daymon [As we fade in from a commercial break, Staci Seymore stands alone in the ring.] Staci: Ladies and gentlemen... please welcome at this time, the challenger for the EUWC World Heavyweight Title at Blood Bath... ROCKO DAYMON!! [The relentless tribal rhythms of "Death Is This Communion" by High On Fire POUND through the PA with the force of a jackhammer. The arena lights go to black save for a vibrant clash of red and blue spotlight luminance around the ring, aisle, and stage. After only a few moments of nothing but building anticipation within the cheering crowd, ROCKO DAYMON steps through the entry-way. The sudden ovation is neither favorable nor detestable, but nevertheless DEAFENING! Fist pumped into the air, Daymon walks out onto the stage, clad in his standard ring gear and a dark brown "The TRUE Professional Wrestler" t-shirt (now available at the EUWC.com store!), and bearing not one but TWO EUWC Tag Team belts across either shoulder. His expression is blank as he makes his way to the ring, randomly glancing through the sea of screaming fans. Casually, he makes his way up the steps and steps between the ropes, pumping another fist to his supporters in the audience before approaching Staci.] Staci: Mr. Daymon... here we are in Stockholm ... our last stop before Blood Bath, where you'll fight the World Heavyweight Champion STEALTH for the title! [Big pop from the crowd at the mention of STEALTH's name. Still revealing no discerning expression, Daymon glances into the audience a few times before turning his attention back to Staci.] Staci: You mentioned earlier this week that your partner, Dan Ryan, has just LEFT the company. I see that by carrying BOTH the Tag Team Titles, that statement is apparently true. [Daymon nods and leans in to speak through the mic.] Daymon: Yeah, Staci… it’s true. The greatest professional wrestling tag team duo that EUWC has ever SEEN is officially over. ...and to be honest, Miss Seymore… I really don’t care! [A supportive pop from the fans. Rocko takes the mic from the interviewer and turns to speak to the audience.] Daymon: Dan Ryan doesn’t think EUWC is “worth it.” Dan Ryan would rather QUIT than take a steel pipe to the back of the head. Dan Ryan is afraid of a couple of MASKED COWARDS who don’t have the balls to fight us like men! And you know what fans? I don’t need an unmotivated PIECE OF SHIT like that to be holding me back any longer! After all the blood I’ve lost in this ring, and all PAIN I’ve put myself through putting my body on the line… all just to GET TO THIS point to entertain YOU FANS… I’m hardly in the mood to deal with people who think this all isn’t worth it. What do you fans think of that? Am I just WASTING MY TIME here?! [Daymon goes to the ropes and pumps the mic to the fans, getting a resounding “NOOO!!!” from his fans. Rocko nods his head, impressed with the response.] Daymon: Yeah, I didn’t think so either. So last week, STEALTH comes out here and talks about the three big weaknesses of mine that will supposedly hold me back in the ring at Blood Bath. First… there’s the fact that I can’t trust my own tag partner. Well, seeing as how Dan Ryan isn’t even AROUND any more, I hardly see how that’s an issue. Then… there’s the fact that I always “choke” in the most important matches. Seems to be the hip slogan for all the HATERS back in that locker room, bringing up the fact I have yet to win the biggest title in this federation, just to help them gloss over the fact that they know I have the ability to say I CAN and I WILL prove them wrong at Blood Bath! And the third? Well, that’s apparently some big secret STEALTH is hiding from the public. In other words, it’s just something ELSE he’s misguided on, or maybe it’s nothing but BULLSHIT mind games! [The crowd reaction is mixed. But Daymon turns his attention away from them to look at the nearby camera, pointing right to his opponent who is undoubtedly watching backstage.] Daymon: Well guess what, STEALTH… there’s ONE weakness of yours that will be YOUR downfall when it comes time for us to fight in front of MILLIONS OF FANS watching at home on Pay Per View! It has nothing to do with who you are, STEALTH… but EVERYTHING to do with what you think of me! Your weakness, STEALTH, is that you think you can UNDERSTAND me. You come out and talk about MY weaknesses, like you can calculate my motives, measure my abilities, punch a few equations into your calculator and have it all figured out! Little do you know that I’m a completely random x-factor… something that CAN’T be controlled or predicted! You see, STEALTH… every man that’s ever beaten me in one of those all-important matches beat me because they understood who I was, how far I would go to win, and how much they had to bring themselves in order to stop me. Now you’re writing off ALL their hard-fought work by just assuming I CAN’T win when it matters. That’s a hell of a statement to make, STEALTH. Are you sure you can back it up in the wrong? How much are you willing to sacrifice to prove you’re RIGHT?? Is the World Heavyweight Title WORTH THE RISK?? [He pauses a moment to let this sink in.] Daymon: But I don’t want you walking into this battle not knowing what you’re UP AGAINST, STEALTH. I want to beat EUWC’s legend at his BEST! That’s why tonight, when I come down to this ring to defend these TAG TEAM TITLES against nearly impossible odds, and you stand there wearing the striped shirt with the power and authority to simply THROW ME OUT of the match for just LOOKING at you the wrong way, I want you to watch close and take notes. I want you to SEE, STEALTH, with your OWN EYES, how much I can take against TWO men at the same time. I want you to see how many times I STAND UP every time they knock me down! And then I want you to ASK YOURSELF… when it comes time for us to meet in that ring… if you are even CAPABLE of bringing more to put me down when I’m fighting for that BELT you carry!! Maybe then you’ll finally understand what you’re up against!! [He backs up to the center of the ring and pumps his fist with his free arm, in plain sight of all the cameras.] Daymon: I am the PARAGON of Professional Wrestling Excellence!! The legend… The myth… THE MAN… ROCKO DAYMON!! [ENORMOUS APPLAUSE from the fans in attendance as Daymon takes a moment to pose and take in the cheering crowd. “Death Is This Communion” hits the PA once again as he hands Staci the mic and, with both tag titles still over his shoulder, exits the ring and slaps hands with the fans as he makes his way back up the rampway.]     ~~~ Commercial Break ~~~ Live on Pay Per View! February 2008   Backstage Segment "The Disease" Jay Smash Staci Seymore: I’m standing here with 3 time World Heavyweight Champion Jay Smash. Jay, you’ve been in the company for a long time, you have seen many match results, and you have been through several changes. Do you care to comment on the changes that have now come in the EUWC? Jay Smash: Staci, it’s great to see you haven’t changed. But change, change it’s all about change. Why can’t things just stay the same? I’m sorry I don’t want to answer with a question. I’ll tell you why things can’t just stay the same, and why change in this company is such a good thing. Staci for years Matt Pickstock has been running this company. He has given the people something to watch if with the thoughts in mind, moves that he has made could have burned the EUWC to the ground. But he made those moves Staci. He has been a smart business man. He can outwit the jelly from a donut. He doesn’t play fair and that’s his goal. Who plays fair around here anyway? He wants the EUWC to go to the top, and change is what he didn’t ask for, he demanded. He took away Mainframe and Blackout cause he wanted to see he start a riot against those of the other brand. He took away Brawl cause it wasn’t satisfying his needs. And now Onslaught. Monday Night Onslaught, a night where the fans will sit around the television screen, be one of the thousands in attendance, and experience entertainment in the most violent, diabolical way. A long time Staci, I’ve been here a long time. I’ve seen change, and so have many others in this company. The Champion we have today, STEALTH a child of EUWC now a legend above the rest, he has been here longer than anyone. He’s the guy that many expected to be retired by now. Years of dedication to the business and winning the title at his age, still people believe it’s too late for him. He is the champion, and one that has defeated those in his way. The EUWC needs a guy like STEALTH to beat. He knows what fight I gave him, he brought to life a dream I’ve had ever since joining the company. I got to face STEALTH! I got to face STEALTH Staci and I can tell people that I… I gave him a run for his money. Each time he entered that ring with me, he left tired and hurt. I did that to him, and I’d do it again and again, and I’ll keep going after him because as great as this guy is, he carries what I crave the most, and that is the World Heavyweight Championship. I’ll go to 4, 5, 6 I’ll lose count as to how many times I carry the title, cause when that belt leaves my shoulder, is un-strapped from my waist, I will continue to go back for it. That’s a part of the EUWC that will never change Staci. I will always be the same person, I will never change, I never have…. Something’s coming Staci, something that cannot be explained in words. Keep this day in mind… love me now, cause I haven’t done wrong. I’ll give you a chance to forgive me later. Staci: What do you mean by forgive you later? Jay Smash: I wasn’t talking to you… [Staci lowers the mic as Smash begins to turns and walk away. As he approaches a nearby door, Smash and Staci are both surprised to see the door open and two men step out. Smash takes a look at the men, who have hidden there identity as the two masked men! Smash realizes too late, when one of the masked men nails Smash with a led pipe in the knees, then continues to beat him down while the other grabs Smash by the arms and pulls him into the room. Staci continues to scream for help as the men shut the door and lock Smash inside with them.] Scott: No! No! What the hell! Someone get in there! John: That’s four superstars in two weeks Scott! Someone has got to stop these lunatics! They have no respect for anyone!      Tag Team Contenders Tournament Team Fusion vs Hawkeye & "The Thriller" Braden Kincaid [The opening chords of "Your Disease" by Saliva plays over the arena loudspeaker. The lights dim and red spotlights flash all over the arena. When the music kicks into high gear, fireworks engulf the arena and smoke is spewed from the entranceway. The man of the hour steps through the smoke, wearing his trademark leather jacket and sunglasses and sporting his black with red trim tights that read "THRILLER" down the right leg. Indeed, it is "The Thriller" Braden Kincaid. He walks to the ring slowly soaking in the reaction, allowing no fan to touch him. Braden reaches the ring steps and slowly climbs them, and steps through the ropes. He then poses on the turnbuckles as the ring announcer calls his name... After a moment the lights return to normal and Braden removes his jacket and sunglasses and hands them to the ringside attendant with a strict warning that no harm should come to his belongings. Braden then steps into his corner and waves for his opponent to enter.] Kandi Reed: The following contest is set for one fall. It is a first round match in the Tag Team Contenders Tournament! Introducing first, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 260 pounds, The North American Champion “The Thriller” Braden Kincaid. [The arena is dark when all of a sudden red, white and blue lights begin to flash around the arena, when "Getting Away With Murder" by Papa Roach begins to blast out to the crowd. The fans begin to cheer out, as Hawkeye steps out from the backstage area and onto the entrance ramp. He stops and looks out to the crowd, he raises his hands, his pyro of red, white and blue explode to the roof of the arena. He begins to walk down the ramp, as he gets to the ring, he stops and looks towards the backstage area, then turns back towards the ring and grabs the bottom rope and pulls himself into it. He rolls into the middle of the ring and stands up. He stands facing the entrance ramp] Kandi Reed: The following contest is set for one fall. Introducing first, from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 250 pounds, Hawkeye. ‘Absolute Power’ by Tech N9ne hits the roof as both Fred and Farris Fusion emerge from the curtains with manager/supporter Faith by their sides. They walk down the ramp and towards the ring clapping fans hands on the way and generally pumping themselves up. They slide into the ring and go straight to the top rope where they throw their arms up into the air as Faith walks around in the ring waving to the crowd.] Kandi Reed: And their opponents... at a combined weight of 470 pounds from Leicester, England, Farris and Fred Fusion… Team Fusion! The bell rings as Farris Fusion and Hawkeye tie up. Hawkeye goes behind Farris and delivers a back drop. Farris. Farris gets up but Hawkeye takes him down with a clothesline.

Farris goes for an enziguri but Hawkeye ducks and grapples Farris from behind. Hawkeye lifts him up for a rear atomic drop but Farris takes him down with a bulldog! Scott: Ouch that had to hurt. Hawkeye didn't see that coming! Farris brings Hawkeye to his corner and makes the tag to Fred and both of them stomp away at Hawkeye. The referee orders Farris to go outside and he does. Fred throws Hawkeye into a corner and punches away at him on the head. Fred whips Hawkeye into the opposite corner and runs at him with a clothesline! Fred whips Hawkeye into the ropes and delivers a tiltawhirl backbreaker! Fred goes for a cover but only a near fall. Fred whips him into a corner and goes for a superplex but Hawkeye kicks Fred in the gut and throws him off the corner. Hawkeye steadies himself on the turnbuckle and flies off with an elbow drop but Fred rolls out of the way and Hawkeye falls on his elbow and hurts himself. John: Hawkeye looks to be injured! Fred tags in Farris who delivers a Fisherman's Suplex to Hawkeye. Farris hooks the leg 1..2..Hawkeye kicks out! Farris doesnt believe it and yells at Hawkeye to get up and slaps him on his head out of frustration. Farris goes for a superkick but Hawkeye ducks and delivers a thundering spinebuster to Farris! Both men are down and both crawl their way to their corners. Farris tags in Fred who pulls Hawkeye before he can make a tag. Fred goes for a powerbomb but Hawkeye delivers an atomic drop. Fred holds his "family jewels" as Hawkeye makes the tag to Braden Kincaid. Kincaid gets on the top and flies off with a missile dropkick on Fred! Farris gets in the ring but The Thriller takes him down with a scissor sweep! Fred runs at Braden but Braden takes him down with an armdrag takedown. Braden whips Fred into the ropes and runs on the opposite side. Both men bounce off the ropes and Braden Kincaid connects with a spinning wheel kick! Braden goes for the cover 1..2..Fred gets the shoulder up! Scott: That was so close! I thought Kincaid had it there!!

The unlikely duo of Kincaid & Hawkeye have advanced in this tournament! John: Well of course they did! Everything Kincaid touches becomes successful! Hawkeye is in for the Thrill Ride of his life! Scott: It was Hawkeye who knocked Farris off the ropes, allowing Kincaid to get the win. John: Did you just watch the same match I did?! Kincaid single handedly beat those two! Scott: In any event, we have more action to come tonight fans! Don't go away!     ~~~ Commercial Break ~~~ Live on Pay Per View!     Backstage Segment "The Southwest Icon" Texas Lightning In the back locker room, Texas Lightning is celebrating on his cell phone with his wife, Sassy Stephanie. I did it!! I finally did it. Adam Benjamin had no chance in hell! I told you dear, you would be married to greatness!! I now have the United States Title, and in two weeks, I will be the greatest International Champion of all time!! (Knock on the door and a note is slipped underneath. Lightning looks at it and wonders as the note says “Go outside.”) Honey, I will need to call you back. Lightning hangs up the phone and grabs the United States title. He heads outside…as he walks by a blonde Swedish girl, who is scrubbing furiously onto a shirt. Almost there, bitch…keep scrubbing. She looks at him with pitiful eyes, Lightning stares her down scornfully. The girl turns away and goes back to scrubbing as TL exits the building. He walks a little bit and sees a white limousine running outside, and he thinks it’s for him. A big man, about 7 feet tall, comes out and confronts Lightning. Move out of my way, big man. The big man doesn’t move. He stands there defiant. If you don’t move on your own, I move you for you. At that moment, a crack in the window of the limousine. A muffled voice speaks. Let him pass. The big man moves out the of way and around to the other side of the limo. Lightning walks forward and begins to talk. Who are you? I am your master. Master? I have no master. No man is the master of the Southwest ICON, the EUWC United States Champion, the man they call… SILENCE!! Lighting stops. If it wasn’t for me, you would be still in prison, you know that. Excuse me? The judge released me. The judge was told to do so. He’s been made aware of my plans for you. Plans? What (bleep)ing plans? Soon, you will discover why I brought you out of hell and into a position from which you will benefit from to no end. We will benefit to no end. Because you think you are going to just be the United States Champion? That title you have is just the beginning. I have bigger plans for you, for me, and for the EUWC. I am the benefactor to which you owe me servitude and to which your freedom and your future are tied with. We will take over the EUWC and when it’s over, no one is safe, no one is secure, no one is immune. We will dominate and we will destroy the EUWC from within. So, what’s next? BloodBath. You will get your instructions in a week. The window rolls up to the top and then the limousine speeds off as Lightning looks confused…and then flashes a very evil grin.       Dwight Jackson vs Sean Taylor [Back in the ring, Dwight Jackson is already standing in the ring...] Kandi Reed: The following contest is set for one fall... Introducing first from Long Island, New York, weighing in at 229 pounds, here is Dwight Jackson! [The crowd grows a hundred decibels louder as "Live By The Rules" by Sean Taylor blares and a waterfall of gold fire rains down over the entrance way. Sean Taylor walks into the arena proudly carrying the EUWC Rulebook.] Kandi : And his opponent... from St. Paul Minnesota, weighing in at 225 pounds, here is .............. SEAN TAYLOR! The bell rings as both men stand face to face with each other. Both of them are trash talking when Jackson goes for the first punch, but Taylor blocks it and goes for right hands of his own. Taylor puts Jackson in the corner and continues with the right hands to the face. Taylor whips Jackson to the opposite corner and charges at him but Jackson hits him with an elbow to the face and then goes up to the second rope. Jackson then flies off with an elbow to the shoulder of Taylor and Taylor goes down clutching his shoulder. Jackson then bounces off the ropes and goes for a high elbow but Taylor moves out of the way and Jackson crashes on the ring! Taylor goes for a quick pin but only gets a 2-count. Scott: Taylor going for a quick win there but didn't get it. John: It looks like he's trying to get a win any way he can for the sole purpose of winning. Scott: At least once before Blood Bath. As Taylor gets up Jackson goes to grab him but receives an elbow in the gut. Jackson stumbles back just enough to allow Taylor to nail him with a right hand before grabbing him and tossing him to the mat with a belly-to-belly suplex. Taylor backs up against the ropes before springing forward and dropping a leg across the neck of Jackson. Pinfall, 1…2…kick out by Jackson. Taylor backs up and waits for Jackson to get to his feet. When Jackson is back up Taylor charges and nails him with a knee to the face sending him through the ropes to the outside. Taylor follows Jackson and drags him to his feet before slamming him head first against the apron and the referee counts 1…2…Jackson stumbles backwards and Taylor grabs him. 3…4…Taylor attempts an Irish whip into ring post but Jackson reverses it sending Taylor smashing against the ring post and spiralling to the floor. 5…6…Jackson grabs Taylor and rolls him back into the ring following him in. Jackson grabs Taylor and tosses him across the ring with a German Suplex. Scott: Dwight Jackson in control here. Dwight picks up Taylor and whips him into the corner. Dwight runs in and attempts a clothesline but the ref gets in the way and goes down. Taylor comes out of the corner but Dwight catches him in a headlock-chokehold. Taylor tries to shake him off to no success. Taylor drops to his knees gasping for breath. Taylor stops moving and Dwight releases the hold. Dwight gets up and checks the referee then ducks out of the ring and grabs a chair. He slides back into the ring where Taylor is slowly getting up. Dwight measures and Taylor and swings but Taylor kicks Dwight in the stomach causing him to drop the chair. Taylor picks up Dwight and nails the Blood Rush on the chair. Taylor covers and the ref crawls over to make the count 1 . . . 2 . . . 3! Kandi: Here is your winner, Sean Taylor!! Scott: Taylor finally wins! John: Good timing too. Scott: Wait a minute. What is he doing? Taylor picks up the chair and measures as Jackson starts to get up. Jackson turns and Taylor nails him between the eyes. Jackson slumps to the mat and Taylor hits him with three more chairshots before the referee grabs the chair away from Taylor. The Diabolic Forces run to ringside and pull Jackson out of the ring. Meanwhile, Taylor shoves the ref out of the ring. Taylor then turns his attention to Sevyn who has appeared at the entranceway. The two stare down as Onslaught goes to commercial.     ~~~ Commercial Break ~~~ Live on Pay Per View!     Backstage Segment Angel of Death Eddie Olson runs up to Angel of Death's locker room. Olson: AOD, AOD! We need to know what's happening with the main event! Black Widow opens the door and steps out. Widow: Hi Eddie. Unfortunately due to the attack by those two masked bastards, AOD isn't medically clear to wrestle tonight. The doctor says that his injuries tonight won't affect Blood Bath, but as far as tonight, it's a no-go. Sorry. Olson: Thanks Widow. She heads back into the room as Olson addresses the camera. Olson: You heard it here, folks. Angel of Death does not have medical clearance to wrestle tonight. Perhaps his "mystery partner" can take the belts for him. I was told that it came down to drawing a name from a hat. So I guess we'll find out later who the lucky guy is. Back to you John.   Tag Team Contenders Tournament Team Danger vs Lord Alucard & Paul Doom The opening of "Simon Says" by Drain STH airs to a chorus of boos. Kandi: Introducing first, at a combined weight of four hundred and seventy five pounds, here are the "King of Pain" Stephen Greer and "the Black Jesus" Tyrone Walker, Team Danger! Greer and Walker strut to the ring, working the fans along the way. As they enter the ring, the lights go out as a boy begins to sing the word "halleluja". With one final word, the song breaks into guitar as "Halleluja" by Rammstein kicks in. The entrance lights flash different colours as Doom appears at the entrance way in his classic trench coat. He looks to the crowd and raises his fist as fireworks behind him hail down like rain. He walks to the ring fans go nuts. He gets in and the lights come on and the music dies down. Kandi: Introducing next, their first opponent, weighing in at three hundred and five pounds, here is Paul Doom! Paul Doom pauses at the top of the entrance ramp. "Our Truth" by Lacuna Coil replaces "Halleluja" as the lights drop once more. Lord Alucard steps through the curtain and joins Paul Doom at the top of the entranceway as the lights slowly fade back up. The two men begin walking to the ring together. Kandi: His partner, weighing in at two hundred and sixty pounds, here is Lord Alucard! Alucard and Doom plot strategy on the way to the ring. As the bell sounds, Alucard and Greer start things off. They circle each other cautiously for a few moments before launching into each other, fists flying. Alucard gets the upper hand briefly with a lariat out of nowhere, but Greer shrugs it off, back on his feet in no time. Both men tag out. John: A short burst of offence from the two former World Champions before their partners get involved in the match. Walker ducks a punch, returning the favour with a couple of sucker punches to Doom's kidneys. Doom staggers, but is able to rock Walker with a back elbow that catches him in the temple. As Walker takes a couple of steps back, Doom rears back to level him with a thrust kick. Walker counters with a low sweep, taking Doom's other leg out from under him. Walker into a mount position quickly, raining fists down onto Doom's head. Doom pushes him off and gets to his feet. Another quick tag brings Alucard back into the match. Scott: And now Alucard gets to test Tyrone Walker of Team Danger. Walker beckons to Alucard, taunting him. Alucard responds with a European uppercut. Walker returns with a forearm shiver that knocks Alucard back a step. Double punch to the chest followed by a kick to the midsection sets up a neckbreaker from Walker. A leg drop across the throat follows. Some vicious stiff kicks to the head and neck of Alucard completes the combo. Walker tags an anxious Greer back into the ring. Scott: I looks as though Alucard is feeling the brunt of Team Danger's aggression tonight! Greer climbs the corner as Alucard slowly gets to his feet. Greer sends him right back down with a flying clothesline, but the referee gets taked down in the process. Greer tags Tyrone Walker. The Referee is knocked out. Tyrone Walker has Alucard set up when suddenly “You Know My Name” by Chris Cornell rips the speakers as the fans are on their feet. While Greer is still fighting Paul Doom outside, Walker is looking at the stage, but from behind Nero enters the ring and turns Walker around. Nero hits Walker straight in the head with a steel chair! Nero exits the ring where Greer knocks down Doom. Greer turns around and spots Nero with the chair and Nero stops in his tracks. Nero tries to back away and even throws the chair at Greer but Greer catches it and runs after Nero. Both of them run circles around the ring till Nero hides behind the steel steps. Just as Greer comes around the corner with the steel chair in hand, Nero hits the chair with the Nero Kick and it hits to the face! Nero just laughs at Greer & Walker while Walker & Alucard slowly get back up... Scott: What the hell just happened here?! John: Nero has interfered illegally!  That's what! Walker begins to chase Nero back up the entrance ramp, distracting Greer in the ring. Alucard begins to crawl back towards Doom. Greer is standing at the ropes, yelling at Walker, who is trying to chase Nero up the ramp. Alucard tags in Doom and the crowd erupts. Greer turns to see what the commotion is about, only to end up at the business end of a Paul Doom lariat. He bounces to his feet, only to be knocked back down again by another lariat. John: Doom is on a roll!! Greer is a bit slower to his feet this time, allowing Doom to nail a thrust kick to the side of his head. Greer rolls to a corner, using the turnbuckles to get back to his feet. He staggers forward, right into the Rebirth! Paul Doom sends Greer crashing hard to the mat, following up quickly with a cover! One, Walker looks back to the ring, realizing what's happening, two, he begins to run to the ring but is cut off by a Lord Alucard Einhandler onto the pavement, THREE!!! Scott: Alucard and Doom have defeated Team Danger, thanks to some timely help from Nero! They advance in the tournament to determine the number one contenders to the World Tag Team Titles!!       ~~~ Commercial Break ~~~ Live on Pay Per View!     Backstage Segment "The Great & Almighty" Nero [The opening guitar ballad of “You Know My Name” by Chris Cornell rips the speakers as the main lights are flicking in and out with sync to the music and an alternate layer of colorful lights are interchanging among each other. The song enters into full force vocals as The Great & Almighty Nero comes out on stage and charismatically walks down the ramp, wearing his wrestling attire, fancy jacket and glasses. The fans cater with a mixed reaction as Nero blows kisses to the audience. Nero enters the ring and climbs up the farthest turnbuckle and raises his right arm proudly in the air. Upon cue, the pyros in the other three corners explode and collide together in the air for fireworks over a proudly standing Nero. He grabs the microphone and starts to speak.] Nero: There comes a time in every great person’s life where he’s got a huge challenge to face and in the end, has to, has to, has to, do the right thing. Oh yeah, that’s right. That shows character, wisdom, and above all: greatness. No matter what the odds are, you just gotta do the right thing. So with that being said... what the HELL where YOU guys thinking!?! [Nero points at the universatron where the pictures of Team Danger appears and the fans start booing them.] Nero: I mean its obvious that you two don’t have a brain cell between you and Summer Sizzler of 2006 is holy testament to that! If you people don’t believe me, check it out, Summer Sizzler 2006; NOW ON DVD! Featuring the first ever Sunday Nero LIVE! But REALLY CREDIBLE PLUGS ASIDE... see its credible now cause I plugged it and now you just cant help but buy it... bottom line is this: thinking or doing anything that makes any sense isn’t exactly your strong trait. Stabbing Sean Taylor to win the World Title... okay the whole “end justifies yadda yadda” isn’t enough cos clearly this wasn’t thought out pretty well. And don’t get me started on the Green Power Ranger! And last but not least, coming back to the EUWC. Tsk tsk tsk. Why oh why? Did you two really think that coming back would make a difference or was the total street income being made by Kelly Evans not enough? Now I know that you guys aren’t here yet, mostly because you two are just lazy bums not worth a single dime that contract’s offerin’ ya. I, on the other hand, am the Great & Almighty Nero, who gets 30 minutes prior to the start of the show just cos the fans outside need to make sure I’m actually gonna be on the show or else they’ll ask for their money back... true story! Oh and EUWC: you’re welcome! [Nero smirks] Shaft: Jerk. Nero: So while no one can expect you two to do the right thing, but just to be safe: R-E-S-I-G-N-A-T-I-O-N. That’s how its spelt. If not, then its time for me to do the right thing. That tag match in the tourney? You two prolly thought I was an idiot for going 1 against 2. Well, THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT GREAT... and Almighty... PEOPLE DO!!! More specifically, GREAT & ALMIGHTY NERO! And guess what, not only is this great act worth to be written in all of EUWC history, its also inspiring other "nearly great but not as Great & Almighty as the Great & Almighty Nero" superstars such as Stonos Daymon to get himself a couple of balls and come out here and do the right thing. Of course, as for that match itself, well... no mysterious partners of mysterious mystery on Earth could ever make me tune into an AOD match, unless it involved me of course. But Team Whatever, you better be sure Kelly Evans is paying out your share in full cos after I am done with the two of you, the only thing you will ever be able to think of is that EUWC was really a bad idea! [Nero drops the mic as  “You Know My Name” by Chris Cornell plays again and Nero exits the ring to the fans delight.] Scott: Well looks like Nero just put Team Danger on notice. Shaft: Face it Scotty, without Big G, Nero’s all talk and no play. Scott: Don’t call me Scotty.   Main Event EUWC World Tag Team Championship Match Special Referee - STEALTH Champions - Rocko Daymon & "The Ego Buster" Dan Ryan vs Angel of Death & Mystery Partner - Challengers Kandi: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is set for one fall and is for the EUWC World Tag Team Championship! [The lights go out and fans begin to cheer. "The Unforgiven II" by Metallica starts and the fans are going NUTS. Just as the intro goes into the music, fireworks explode in the ring and from the rafters. STEALTH then is lowered from the ceiling to a spot in the crowd. His arms are raised in the air as he hits the floor. He unclips himself and slowly walks to the ring. With red strobe-lights flashing, STEALTH enters the ring and stands in the centre. He throws his arms into the air and red fireworks erupt from the four turnbuckles as well as the rafters! When the fireworks fade, the lights come up and the music fades out!] Kandi: Introducing first, the Special Guest Referee... here is the EUWC World Heavyweight Champion...... STEALTH!!!! (An explosion PEALS over the stage as Rocko Daymon makes his entrance to a FLOOD of diverse reactions from those who hate him out of spite and those who know a TRUE professional wrestler when they see one! Rocko stares into the sea of fans for several moments with his fist held high in the air, and confidently strides down to the ring.) Kandi: Making his way to the ring now, hailing from Tacoma, Washington… weighing in at 243 pounds… He is the Legend, the Myth, the MAN… and one half of the EUWC World Tag Team Champions.... ROCKO DAYMON!! [Kandi stands alongside STEALTh, looking confused.  Rocko stands in the corner, holding both belts, he too with a puzzled look on his face.] Scott: Well this is very disappointing to hear. It doesn’t sound like AOD has medical clearance to compete in the Main Event tonight. This may very well have been a great match if he could compete. John: Just hold on, I don’t think Dan Ryan and Rocko Daymon want to leave without a fight tonight! Who is the mystery partner? Scott: Wait just a moment, we just got word we are moving to the backstage area where… John: Not again! [From directly behind the stage walls, a man is being brutally beaten with led pipes by the masked men. Just then, one masked man looks up at the camera while the other pulls up the head of Cobris Grayson, bloodied and beaten down on the floor.] Masked Man: Who likes a mystery anyway? Scott: Wait, was Cobris Grayson the mystery partner tonight? Then what is happening to our Main Event? [STEALTH, Kandi Reed and Rocko Daymon stand in the ring confused as they watch the events unfold backstage. Daymon seems almost satisfied with the result that they won’t be defending the titles, but somewhat upset he won't get to fight, until…] Matt Pickstock: Hold on! Hold on just a second! Onslaught will not end this way. Rocko Daymon, you stay in that ring, because your opponents are on their way out! [From the stage, the fans wait to find out what tag team Daymon will be facing. What they get is not what they expect. With no music to reveal, the two masked men take a stroll down the ramp and slide into the ring. Rocko Daymon looks pissed, knowing what the masked men did to him last week.] Scott: It looks like masked man A is starting it off with Daymon. Daymon starts it off with a headlock and A pushes him into the ropes. As Daymon bounces back, he is brought down with a shoulder block. Daymon gets back up seemingly surprised at what's happened. A laughs but Daymon slaps it out of him! Split flies as A checks his face, and attempts a punch. It's blocked and Daymon comes back with lefts and rights. Left. Right. Left. They make their way into the corner as STEALTH instantly seperates the two. Daymon backs off but A grabs him by the throat and throws him into the turnbuckle. A throws punches and kicks into the ribs of Daymon. John: Look at STEALTH! Not even doing anything! STEALTH looks the other way as A brings Daymon down to the ground. He stops and backs off then out of nowhere, takes a run and drives his leg into Daymon's head! Daymon goes down in a heap as he tags in Masked Man B (B). A drags Daymon into the middle of the ring as B takes a run and drops a legdrop across the head of Daymon! A leaves as B goes for a cover. One, two... quick count and quick kick out! Scott: Could that count have been any faster? B, surprised, picks up Daymon and whips him into the ropes. He goes for a clothesline but Daymon ducks and runs, B goes for another but Daymon again ducks, bounces off the ropes and nails B with a flying lariat! The two men start crawling into the respective corners and both reach out. A gets tagged back in as Daymon remembers he's without a partner. A grabs Daymon's legs but he kicks him away and Daymon, with a burst of adrenaline, begins to fight his way back with a punch to the head, punch to the gut, uppercut sending A down! B comes into the ring as Daymon kicks B in the head and nails the Brain Rocker! B rolls out of the ring as Daymon grabs the legs of A and locks in the Tacoma Cloverleaf! STEALTH refuses to check on A as he begins to yell in pain. Daymon sits back further as A tries to make his way to the ropes. He tries, and tries but... John: OH JUST LOOK AT STEALTH! He's pretending he's fallen over and now he's outside! A begins to tap out! He's tapping as Daymon begins yelling to STEALTH who refuses to acknowledge him. The crowd get riled up as B makes his way back in the ring. He begins running towards Daymon but Daymon lets go of the hold on A and decks B with a dropkick. He makes his way to the ropes as A slowly gets up, turns Daymon around and nails a stiff DDT. Daymon goes down as B makes his way to the top rope while A holds him down and he goes flying through the air with a massive bodysplash! Scott: This is all over! John: It was all over before it began, Scott. A goes for the cover as STEALTH gets back in the ring. This is all over folks. One...two... THR...NO! Daymon has his arm up! STEALTH can't believe it! The masked men can't believe it! Daymon, dazed and down, probably can't believe it either! B tells A to pull up Daymon and does so. A places Daymon on his shoulders as B climbs the turnbuckle. B goes flying through the air but Daymon somehow ducks and B goes flying into STEALTH sending him out of the ring! Daymon gathers his senses and nails a facebuster off of A's shoulders! THIS IS OVER! Daymon quickly goes back to A's legs and again locks in the Tacoma Cloverleaf. A's tapping. B is down. STEALTH is outside of the ring. Daymon keeps it locked on still. A taps out again as Daymon releases the hold and celebrates. The crowd goes nuts as Daymon puts his arms in the air. He turns around and STEALTH is back in the ring with one of the title belts. He decks Daymon busting him open! A is out as STEALTH tells B to cover Daymon. He slowly pins Daymon draping an arm over him. One... Two... Three! Scott: I don't believe it! Staci: The winners of this match, and NEW EUWC World Tag Team Champions... the mystery men! John: Who the hell are they Scott? How can unknowns win the titles like this?!? Scott: I don't believe we've seen the end of this one John. STEALTH stares at the unconscious body of Daymon, before sliding out of the ring and heading up the ramp. Scott: I don’t believe this! The tag team titles are going to those masked assailants! They have viciously attacked the best in the business just to get to the top in the EUWC. John: I don’t know Scott, something here doesn’t feel right. I know it says “for her pleasure” but it loses all it’s sensation to me. Scott: Get over yourself for just one minute and take a look at what has happened here in the EUWC! [Before any longer, with the two masked men still celebrating in the ring after winning the EUWC Tag Team Championships, the fans are then surprised when they see Black Widow pop out of the curtain on stage and storm down to the ring unpleased with what has happened.] John: Wow, Black Widow is infuriated right now after finding out what these guys did to her man. [When Black Widow reaches the bottom of the ramp, the fans take one last glance over to the stage where another shocking moment occurs. From behind the set up walks out two men they were not expecting. The two masked men in the ring turn to stare out at the stage as they look across to see duplicates of themselves standing on the stage!] Scott: What is this? Two more masked men have just stepped onto the stage! John: Heh, I bet those guys on stage are gonna feel like crap when they find out the EUWC already has a mystery tag team. [From the stage to the ring, the other two masked men slide in followed by a stare down with the new tag team champions. Black Widow continues to stare into the ring when she pounds the canvas hard with the palms of her hands. The masked men all look down at Widow, then back at each other.] Scott: This is not the best place for Black Widow to be right now, she could get hurt! John: You think someone should stop this? [The two masked men that have entered turn away, and sit on the second rope to allow Black Widow to enter the ring! When Black Widow enters, she stands in the middle of all four masked men. Kandi Reed steps in for a moment to hand Widow a mic, and finally with the fans all confused, Black Widow makes her voice heard.] Black Widow: You cowards. You come to the EUWC and you expect to dominate? You come here to defeat the best, and you do it by any means necessary. What kind of person does that make you, when you believe it is all right to beat a man from behind? Cowards, every one of you sitting back there watching us right now. The four men you see standing in this ring right now have fought for everything. They have seen what a man will do to become the best in this business because they have all been a victim to an assault once before. They have watched superstars come and go, and you know what they said to me when I was unsure of their plans? They said, “They started a war a long time ago. They underestimated, they thought they were smarter, they never took in into consideration that the past would come and take it all away.” Rocko Daymon you are just one of many superstars that thought you could push yourself to the top by eliminating the top competition. The two men you see here holding the tag team titles began something big, and they have followers. And while you all had a dream to start a war with them, they had a plan to wake you from that dream. They will continue that war to wake a reverie, this is reality, this is who you face… Wake All Reverie… this is W.A.R. [Black Widow stands between the two men holding the tag team titles as she pulls off the masks, followed by the other two masked men in the ring standing beside each other. Inside the ring stand Cobris Grayson, Beast and the New EUWC World Tag Team Champions Jay Smash and Angel of Death!] Scott: WHAT THE HELL?! John: IT WAS THEM ALL ALONG!  HOW BRILLIANT!!! Scott: What the hell is going on?!  Jay Smash and AOD are the New Tag Team Champions...  Beast has returned!  Grayson has aligned himself with these devils, and Black Widow has declared W.A.R. here in EUWC! John: I LOVE IT! Scott: Fans, we are out of time!  Join us for Blood Bath where we hope to shed some more light on this new situation! [The scene fades out with AOD, Jay Smash, Beast, Grayson and Widow celebrating in the ring as the crowd hurls trash at them.] © 2008, Apocalypse Productions Inc.  All Rights Reserved.
