The One walks into the locker-room to see 2 sitting half passed out on a chair. He looks down by 2's knee as see's a bottle Jack Daniels. The One grows furious, and runs up to 2 and throws a left hand right into his face.
The One: We got to defend our company, and you are getting hammered.
2 throws his bottle at The One, One ducks and it goes crashing against the wall.
2: Brother, this ain't my company... and ain't yours.
The One just looks at him for a moment, and begins to leave the room.
The One: Yeah maybe, but it's all we got. Brother.

The One vs. Uriel Black
Both men are already in the ring.
Scott: Well some interesting this going on already tonight, and you have to Wonder if The One isn't too distracted with 2 to actually put on a good match.
Ted: All I know is that Omar Gibson might have just killed someone.
Scott: True, but this match is more about UCW and EWE, a friendly competition that has no turned into a battle over the tag team titles.
Ted: Well, I would hope 2 and One do some better promo's when they actually fight for the titles.
Scott: Good point. let's get to the match.
Black Crowd Support- 4/200
One Crowd Support- 21/200
As soon as the bell rings Black attacks One with right hand chops backing him into a corner, Black tries for a roundhouse kick but it is ducked by The One. This causes black to catch himself on the ropes with one leg on either side, painfully. The ref attempts to keep One from Black at this point but The One responds with a dropkick of his own which sends Black flying from the ring to the outside. The ref then begin the count but before he reaches five One rolls Black under the ring and pulls the apron skirt of the ring down as if it would trap him. The One then dusts off his hand and walks off, as if this is all. The Crowd laughs but Uriel, who tears out from under the ring and tackles The One into the barricade on the outside before Flipping The One into a German Suplex.
Scott: Black looks like the fresh man, and The One looks to distracted to fight at his best.
Ted: All I know is that Uriel Black is for real.
Black quickly goes for the pinfall by rolling One into the ring but One kicks out. Before Black can get back up, One drops an elbow on him. Black rolls to the outside to regroup. One runs at and then off the ropes and takes Black out with a suicide dive through the ropes. The fans cheer. One attempts to do the same joke again by placing Black under the ring but Black just shoves One angrily who falls slamming his back and head against the steel steps. Black gets up and runs attempting to smash one head in with a boot. And connects!
Ted: Ouch
Scott: Ouch is right.
Black yells a bunch of swear words at The One but The Tag Champ just flips him off with the finger and smiles. Black sees red and goes for another kick into The One’s head but One rolls and Black kicks nothing but sends the steps flying, and jars his foot at the same time. One then Grabs the foot and Dragon Whips it, Sending Black to the ground. One then rolls Black into the ring. Black gets a Super Dropkick from The One before The One grabs him for the God Like Drop. But Black rolls down and Rolls him up for a surprise 1, 2, 3!
Chet: Winner via pinfall at 8.03, Uriel Black
Black- 50 Euros Earned - +2 Crowd Support for Victory/Beating a Title-holder
One- 0 Euros Earned - -1 Crowd Support for No Show
Scott: The looks really disappointed in himself, and Black just looks cocky.
Ted: I sure hope these guys get their stuff together soon, so we can shut their mouths.
The scene switches to a dark room where the mystery man speaks again.
???: I have so much pride for this new place, and in less than a month you will all see how deep that pride is, especially him. This place is full of the best and brightest, and soon I can add my name to the list of the greats who fought in EWE. I will see you all in good time, until then, keep watching.
Commercial Break.
The One is walking down the hallways and smashed his fist into the wall. Out walks Mike Adams, and he smiles.
Adams: Trouble in paradise?
The One turns to look at him, and stares him down.
The One: You and me... next week... if your man enough.
The One just continues walking down the hallway.
Ironman Championship
The Jokester vs. Jesse Long
Scott: Wouldn't that match be a blast from the past?
Ted: Stop connecting segments!
Chet: Introducing first the Challenger, from AMERICA, Jesssseeee "The AMERICAN" Loooonnnnggg..
Crowd Support- 6/200
"Amerika" by Rammstein hits the speakers and the few members in the crowd who have memorized the theme music begin to boo. Jesse Long walks out on stage with an American flag draped over his shoulders and the crowd upon seeing it give him more heat then he normally would've drawn.
Ted: Listen to the cheap heat Jesse Long is drawing Scott.
Scott: I think these people are booing America, not Jesse Long.
Ted: Perhaps, but Jesse represents America and all that the country stands for.
Scott: Then he's in some serious deep shit tonight because last I heard Americans can't do shit without an Obama endorsement.
Ted: I believe Americans can't do much even with an Obama endorsement Scott.
Chet: And the Ironman Champion... THE JOOOKKKEEESTTERR.
Crowd Support- 5/200
“I Am The Jokester” plays to a small pop from the crowd, The new Ironman Champion appears from behind the curtain and just like last week looks disappointed not more fans are cheering. He comes armed this time though with twin pistols and pulls them out of his pink leotard. The fans in the area begin screaming and ducking down just before Jokester pulls the triggers, sending pathetic streams of water shooting out that barely reach the front seats, but everyone in the arena just seems terrified. Jokester throws the water guns down angrily and just shrugs his shoulders.
Ted: I don't think these fans understand Jokester yet.
Scott: I don't think I understand Jokester yet.
Ted: He's just a guy who likes to have fun Scott.
Scott: Yeah but he's in pink spandex, is clearly older then the date he filled out on his application, and the second he showed up the FBI started phoning in from the states. Rumor has it the reason he left America when he did was because acts of pedophilia were caught on tape.
Ted: All rumors, just like how they said he ran for President.
Scott: He did, didn't he?
Ted: Did he? I don't know, never mind, I'm not defending this guy.
Jokester gets into the ring with a wide smile on his face but Jesse Long isn't smiling. Jesse Long rushes Jokester with a running forearm but Jokester sees him coming and ducks down performing a back body drop that sends Jesse Long to the outside of the ring. Jesse hits the mats outside back first and yells out in pain as the crowd pop. Jokester walks over to where the American Flag had dropped in the ring and he holds it up as the crowd boo, but then he rolls it up into a ball and blows his nose with it drawing a huge pop from the crowd. Jesse Long sees this as he gets up holding his back in pain and rolls back under the bottom rope. Long charges Jokester and misses another clothesline but Jokester is unable to lift him up a second time with the back body drop and the two awkwardly clunk into one another with Jokester's head ending up between Long's legs. Long drives his elbow into the back of Jokester's neck sending the funny man to the mat.
Ted: Jesse Long appears to be genuinely upset that Jokester just blew his nose with the American flag, but the crowd absolutely loved it.
Scott: Well who doesn't like seeing Americans get what's coming to them? I wonder what Cassius thinks of this Jesse Long guy.
Ted: I think we know the answer to that, but if this Ironman curse is not broken tonight then the Ironman Champion is going to be Mr. America himself in there.
Scott: I think he likes to be called 'The American Icon'.
Ted: If he wins the Ironman Championship I'll call him whatever he wants to be called, but until then he just looks like another arrogant American who thinks he's above the cut.
Jesse picks up Jokester and then nails him in the face with a hard right hand. He irish whips Jokester into the ropes and when Jokester bounces off he's met with a spinning back elbow, followed by an elbow drop and then a pin attempt. The referee's hand drops twice but Jokester kicks out and Long brings him back to his feet again. Jokester tries to push Long off but the American Icon jumps into the air and nails his older opponent with a jumping knee to the chin. Jokester falls back and Long signals to the crowd that he has the match in complete control. When the crowd boo Jesse after he makes a V shape to them, he changes his finger to a middle finger sticking straight up in the air and the crowd boo even louder.
Ted: What disrespect, who does this man think he is?
Scott: I don't know, but on the topic of bad press coming from the states, did you hear what THIS guy did?
Ted: You mean the whole sister thing? Disgusting.
Scott: Typical inbred yankee.
Jesse goes to the top rope and signals to the crowd before leaping off with The Long Shot but Jokester rolls out of the way. Jesse bounces off the mat and holds his wrists in pain after the crash landing but Jokester doesn't let him recover, kicking him hard in the ass and sending him back down face first into the mat. Jesse looks mad and embarrassed and quickly gets to his feet while still holding his wrists in pain. Jokester sees the weakness and quickly grabs Long in a wrist lock that ends in a nasty wrist snap. Long holds his wrist in pain but gets back to his feet once more but is knocked to the mat again with a clothesline. Long pops up again, refusing to stay down, and charges at Jokester but Jokester drops to perform a drop toe hold, but Jesse Long jumps over the legs of Jokester and kicks him in the face. Jokester recoils in pain and Jesse smirks again, once again taunting to the crowd and hanging over the ropes to get in a fight with a man holding a sign that says, "Too many Americans in Europe". When the camera shows the sign the crowd all pop which enrages Jesse even more. Jokester takes advantage of the distraction and reaches up to pull Jesse Long's tights down revealing his red white and star spangled blue underwear. Jesse's face turns red as the crowd erupt in laughter and quickly pulls his tights back up, but as he's trying to cover himself up Jokeser quickly rolls him up from behind, but then alters the move so that instead of going for the pin he locks in the No Laughing Matter. Jesse Long screams out in pain and after reaching for the ropes but realizing he's in the wrong corner, he is forced to angrily tap out.
Chet: The winner of this match and still Ironman Champion, Jokester!
Jokester- 100 Euros Earned - +4 Crowd Support for Victory/Good Match/Title Defense
Jesse Long- 25 Euros Earned- +1 Crowd Support for Good Match
Ted: Well the curse has been broken for now, but the real test comes next week. Can Jokester become the longest reigning Iron Man Champion with another victory?
Scott: One victory at a time Teddy! Right now the crowd seem to be connecting with him and judging by the fact that he's already attempting a crowd surf... Key word attempting by the way, I'd say he's happy to be in the moment.
Ted: Well he looks a bit heavy to be crowd surfing but I guess he shouldn't have jumped in the teenage girl section, either way Jokester retains the Ironman Championship and Jesse Long goes back to America empty handed.
Scott: Just like Obama when he tried to take the Olympics. Like anyone cares about Chicago.
Jesse Long stands up, and grabs a mic as he scoots out of the ring.
Jesse: I bet all you dirty foreigners liked that didn't you? Well good, I hope your glad, because next week... you can all refer to me as Jesse" The American" Long, because I don't need to be an Icon to be better than you. Not only that, but my talk show "Made in The USA" with a very special guest. So until then... **** off.
2 vs. Eric Herrera
Scott: Ready to see 2 take on UCW's Eric Herrera?
Ted: Oh yeah..this should be a good match.
Chet: Introducing first, representing UCW Eric Herrera
Crowd Support -4/200
Wherever I May Roam starts to play as the crowd begins to stand up and boo. Eric Herrera walks onto the stages..He walks down the ramp and he keeps a smile as some fans begin to scream out UCW suck. He gets to the ring and stops.
Ted: Well the fans let him know how they feel about him.
Chet: And his opponent, one half of the tag team champions, 2!
Crowd Support- 43/200
Papa Roach's "Walking through barbed wire" Plays and 2 walks out onto the stage slowly. With the tag title around his waist 2 makes his way down the ramp and he rolls into the ring. He hands his belt to the ref and the ref calls for the bell.
Scott: 2 looks a bit more sober since his drama with The One earlier in the show.
Ding Ding Ding
The match begins with both the two men wrapping up. 2 hits Eric with a hard punch, before bending him over with a rough knee to the stomach. 2 then clubs Eric’s back, sending him sprawling to the canvas. Eric gets right up. 2 takes a second to laugh the move off a bit. He charges with a clothesline, and Herrera ducks out of the way. 2 hits the ropes, and Herrera catches him with a schoolboy roll-up.
One…
Two… Kickout!
Ted: Eric almost got the win there!
Scott: I think Herrera is going to have to take 2 a bit more seriously here tonight if he wants to walk away the winner.
2 jumps up to his feet, furious. As soon as he stands, Herrera is ready with a knee-first dropkick. 2 gets knocked down, but stands again. Herrera hits another dropkick, this one sending 2 tumbling through the ropes to the outside.
Scott: Wow..Herrera is on fire tonight!
Ted: Let 2 get warmed up and then we will talk.
2 slides into the ring and at the same time Eric Herrera charges at him with a clothesline. 2 ducks and with Eric's back turned.. 2 screams "Its over!"
Scott: Is..Is 2 going to try to connect with the 2Die4?
Ted: If so then it may be over right here..
2 grabs Eric Herrera but Herrera squirms out of it and is able to spin 2 around and now facing each other. Eric kicks 2 and then connects with a Downward Spiral. He covers 2.
1....2......3!
Chet: Winner via pinfall Eric Herrera!
Herrera- 50 Euros Earned- +3 Crowd Support for Victory/Good Match/Pinning a title-holder

Scott: What just happened!?
Ted: The match is over Scott...
Scott: I know that Ted...but everytime a match begins to get interesting..Bang it ends.Maybe if he wasn't drinking...
Ted: We'll never know.
Commerical Break
We open inside of The Judge's locker-room. He is sitting their alone in thought. When all of a sudden Trent James walks in.
James: Hey, I know what you are going through, just know that if you need anything, I am right behind you through this. I know how it is doing anything to get the title you want.
ANYTHING.
Good luck man, I'm sure you don't need it.
The scene switches back to the ring.
Title Match Ramifications
Risen/Blade/OBG/James vs. JMC/Ranks/T-Dog/Hayden
Scott: Up next, we’ve got a possible game-changer, with eight of EWE’s finest squaring off with huge opportunities on the line!
Ted: Let’s see if I can get this straight. As long as T-Dog and OBG both show up, the pinfall winner in this one gets a shot at the Iron Man Title?
Scott: Unless that man is T-Dog or OBG, in which case that man picks the title match stipulation for next week.
Ted: And if one of those two doesn’t show up, they get replaced by the pinfall winner in said title match!
Scott: Bingo!
“If It Wasn’t For Hate We’d Be Dead By Now” plays out and Kayne Risen appears to little fanfare. Shortly after, “Bleed For Me” cuts in and Blade LaVigne appears behind him. The two are walking to the ring when “Voices” starts to play, signaling the appearance of Trent James. Lastly, “Suffer” rings out and the champ OBG joins his team.
Chet: The following eight man tag match is scheduled for one fall. Entering first, Kayne Risen, Blade LaVigne, Trent James, and the EWE Champion, OBG!
Total Team Crowd Support - 73
The four men take their place in the ring and Risen, James, and LaVigne head to the apron, letting OBG kick off the match.
“Don’t Forget The Rules” plays and JMC comes out from behind the curtain. He lags behind for a second, waiting for his partners. “Hero” follows and Ranks comes out to stand alongside Cassius, then “Six Days” plays and Michael Hayden comes out. The three stand on the stage waiting for T-Dog’s music but get nothing. Eventually “Six Days” cuts out leaving the teams in silence.
Chet: And their opponents, JMC, Jeremiah Ranks, and Michael Hayden!
Total Team crowd Support - 72
Scott: I’d say business just picked up!
Ted: No T-Dog? Suddenly this match is for number one contendership!
The three man team nods to each other and blitzes the ring. Each having a similar idea, the three rush at OBG, trying to weaken up the champ for a potential encounter next week. An angry Kayne Risen and Trent James run all three out of the ring. Jeremiah Ranks slides into the ring and locks up with OBG, then drops him with a powerful DDT. He tries to cover him for an early victory but Blade LaVigne intervenes. He pulls Ranks to his feet and begins to wail on Ranks with right hands, eventually forcing official Martin Rizzo to pull him off and tell him to return to his corner.
Scott: Blade LaVigne got a little intense with Ranks there.
Ted: Hey, with a title shot on the line, even Blade LaVigne can start to look dangerous!
The distraction by Blade allows OBG to return to his feet and mount a surprise offensive on Jeremiah Ranks. He opens up his attack with a couple of right hands before bouncing off the ropes and flooring Ranks with a big shoulder block. Ranks jumps back to his feet and locks up the champ, irish whipping him back to the ropes. Ranks ducks under an attempted clothesline and OBG gets hit from behind by JMC’s elbow. The Prince of Cats grins from the apron and holds out his hand. Ranks ponders for a second and then steps away from his partner, instead choosing to focus on beating on OBG some more. Ranks jumps into the air and plants a knee on the small of OBG’s back, causing a cry of pain from the EWE Champ. Ranks goes for a cover and gets two.
Scott: Ranks just shunned his tag team partner?
Ted: Things are different in this kind of match Scott, it’s really every man for himself.
Ranks pulls OBG back to his feet and is thanked for his troubles with a jab to the gut. Jeremiah doubles over in pain and struggles over to his corner. An alert OBG seizes the moment and irish whips Ranks into the opposite corner, then tags in Blade LaVigne. Blade and Omar stomp away at Ranks until Rizzo pulls Omar back to his corner. Blade pulls Ranks into the ring and connects with a swift kick to the gut, then tosses Ranks out of the ring, where he lands on Risen, James, and Hayden brawling on the outside. The crowd applauds wildly as the four superstars get laid out on the floor and LaVigne taunts openly to the applause. After a count of about 5 Ranks pulls himself back into the ring only to get viciously stomped away at by LaVigne. Ranks struggles towards his corner but Blade pulls him back to his feet and into a vertical suplex, separating him from JMC once more.
Scott: Think he regrets not tagging in earlier?
Ted: I’m still just impressed with LaVigne, he looks like a man possessed.
This comment appears to jinx the young LaVigne, who has his next suplex attempt countered with a knee to the gut, followed by a big dropkick to the face. LaVigne and Ranks lay stranded in the middle of the ring and both begin to crawl to their corners. After a few moments each succeeds, LaVigne in tagging in OBG and Ranks in tagging in JMC. Cassius wastes no time being upset at his partner and instead rushes to OBG. JMC gets Omar to double over with a running kick to the gut, then drops him with a big time dropkick. OBG stumbles back to his feet but JMC brings him back down with a running crossbody. He covers the champ but Blade manages to break up the pin attempt. A weakened Ranks hobbles into the ring to stop Blade from doing more damage but gets tossed from the ring for his trouble. Blade pursues Ranks outside and whips him into the barricade swiftly.
Inside the ring both OBG and JMC return to their feet. JMC grapples OBG to try and pull him into The Soliloquy but OBG pushes him away, forcing Cassius to bounce off the ropes and return to the champ. Gibson is ready and leaps up, bringing his knees to Cassius’s face to pull off The O.C. Yo, but JMC pushes him away at the last second. OBG crashes to the ground and quickly returns to his feet, but runs right into Cassius and his knee. Omar doubles over and Cassius quickly snatches his head, dropping him with a vicious tornado DDT. JMC covers and gets 1…2…3!
Winner by pinfall at 9 minutes, JMC, Jeremiah Ranks, and Michael Hayden
Chet: Ladies and gentlemen... your new number one contender…. James Moriarty Cassius!

Commerical Break
Main Event
Seven Deadly Sins II - Sloth
The Judge vs. Mike Adams
Scott: Next up - it’s the second in a series of contests where Judge explores his inner psyche, looks into the void and picks his way through the sodden mess that is his sinful life.
Ted: And this week, the sin that returns to haunt The Judge is sloth - I thought that was an arboreal mammal native to Central and South America.
Scott: You’re not wrong, Ted, but Judge is not wrestling with a three toed Folivora - He’s fighting a man better associated with Gerbillinae - that’s gerbils to you and me.
Ted: That’s a sex life to Mike Adams.
Scott: But Mike has put all that behind him and he has now come to EWE to pursue a longstanding vendetta against his former nemesis, The Judge.
Chet: This next match is the second in a series of contests sanctioned by EWE management. Introducing first, representing EWE and hailing from Los Angeles, California, he is The Judge!
Judge stands motionless at the top of the ramp for several seconds as his music - Kid Cudi’s ’Heart of a Lion’ plays out. Eventually an arm, possible belonging to Jeffrey O’Donnell prods him in the back and Judge trudges down the ramp with no acknowledgement of the rampside fans. His music runs out before he clambers up the steps ringside. Referee Todd Franklin comes up to him and seems to ask if Judge is feeling OK.
Ted: The unfamiliar face in the ring is EWE’s newest acquisition - experienced referee Todd Franklin.
Scott: Wooooaah, I’ve heard of him. Weren’t there some rumours of bribery, steroid abuse and unexplained pregnancy in his last place of employment?
Ted: You talk like that’s a bad thing.
Judge takes his place in the corner of the ring, wipes some sweat from his forehead and takes a swig of water from the bottle he has brought with him.
Chet: His opponent, hailing from New York City, New York and representing himself, he is Miiiiiiiiiike Adaaaaaaaaaams!
Adams appears with both arms raised but gets overwhelming boos from the crowd. A sign says ‘Mike Adams - The Worm in the Big Apple’
Adams’ smile does not leave his face however and he rushes the ring, slides under the bottom rope and begins to whale on Judge with lefts and rights. Todd Franklin calls for the bell.
Ding Ding.
Judge defends himself with raised arms but doesn’t come back with any offence.
Scott: Judge looks as though he wants to be somewhere else.
Adams tucks Judges head under his arm and floors him with a DDT then kicks his prone body two or three times. He lifts Judge into a Vertical Suplex then floors him with extreme violence, keeping on the cover for a count.
Todd Franklin shrugs and goes to the mat. He slaps the mat once……………..twice…………..but, before a third impact, Judge gets his shoulder up and kicks a surprised Adams in the head.
Judge gets to his knees and holds the bridge of his nose in his hand while giving his head a shake.
Scott: There’s definitely something wrong with Judge.
Ted: No, Scott, this is just what everyone has been saying - Judge is too slothful to really overwhelm EWE like he ought to. A big opportunity like this comes along and Judge is just too goddam lazy to put in the effort that it takes.
Adams recovers and pulls Judge to his feet before flooring him again with a Swinging Neck Breaker. Judge gives a squeal of pain but rolls out of the ring before Adams can come at him with a further cover. Todd Franklin starts to count but Judge shakily makes his way round the outside to his corner. Mike Adams tries to find a way past Franklin to try a Suicide Dive or similar through the ropes but Franklin bars the way as the count reaches six.
Judge gets to his corner and picks up his water-bottle discarded there. He sniffs it and recoils.
Scott: Oh oh. Has someone put something in Judges drink? That would explain his apparent ennui.
Ted: Nonsense. It’s just an excuse. Judge will be wanting to be put on the injury list for a couple of weeks - that’s all.
Judge angrily throws a way the bottle and gets up on the apron as Franklin reaches eight. Adams comes at him but Judge dips a shoulder and drives it into Adams’ exposed midsection. Adams doubles over allowing Judge to roll over his back and pull Adams after him for a Small Package. Judge remains weak though so Adams reverses this and gets on his own pin, using the ropes for extra leverage. Franklin spots this and knocks Adams legs down to the mat and tells him to get on with the wrestling.
Adams looks both angry and anxious as Judge’s head clears and he makes threatening gestures to Adams then points to the water bottle. Adams' expression changes to first a grin, then a shrug of the shoulders denying all knowledge.
Scott: Looks as though Mike Adams has been rumbled.
Both men get to their feet and exchange some chops and forearms, Judge becoming stronger with each blow. Finally, Adams does not respond, so Judge whips him across the ring and bends for a back body flip on the rebound. Adams stops himself in time though and brings up a knee to knock Judge flat to the mat. Judge lies still so Adams goes for a Moonsault but is too slow. Judge just rolls aside in time and Adams hits bare mat instead. This time, Judge hooks Adams’ leg and applies pressure for the pin.
1.……………….2.………….Adams gets a shoulder up.
Scott: Judge is still weakened by whatever has been in that water bottle. Normally that would have been enough to end the contest.
Judge releases the hold but lifts Adams by the neck and thrusts him through the ropes to the outside. He lands on his feet but Judge jumps over the ropes and Crossbodies Adams to the concrete surround.
Judge is first to rise but he spots the discarded water bottle and pours the remaining contents over Adams and into his opened mouth. Adams splutters.
Ted: Now who’s doing something illegal - that’s a foreign object!
Scott: I think Judge is just evening up the contest, that’s all.
Once the bottle is empty, Judge picks Adams up and thrusts him under the bottom rope back into the ring. He follows him in but Adams gets in a desperation Dropkick before he can step through the ropes. Judge drops again to the surround. Adams comes to grab Judge by the hair but Judge grabs both his ankles and floors him then hops onto the ring apron and springboards into a leg drop.
Franklin counts……..1.……………..2.…………………Adams once again gets a shoulder up in time.
Judge rises and gets Adams into a Jail Cell (Chicken Wing Sleeper)
Scott: That move is called a Jail Cell. That’s exactly where Adams should be now in my opinion.
Ted: Scott! What happened to your legendary impartiality?
Scott: It left whenever Mike Adams poisoned that bottle of Judge’s.
Ted: I think that you’re leaping to conclusions, Scott. Let’s wait for the autopsy before we pass judgement.
Mike Adams starts to flag and Todd Franklin lifts Adams’ arm, but Adams grabs Franklin and pulls him into Judge. They clash heads and both men fall.
Mike Adams springs up and stomps Judge three……..four times, then grabs a leg and twists him into a single leg crab. Judge grabs the ropes and thrusts Adams backwards. He rebounds off the rope but walks into a clothesline. Judge picks him up and delivers the Judgement DDT. He covers.
Todd Franklin recovers and crawls over groggily. He slaps the mat.
One
Two
Three times.
He calls for the bell.
Ding Ding
Chet: Your winner of the Second Deadly Sin Match - the conqueror of Sloth…..by pinfall…..The Juuuuuuuuuuuudge!
Judge- 50 Euros earned - +4 for Main Event/Epic RP
Adams - 25 Euros earned - +3 for Epic Match/Main Event
Scott: And Judge takes it! He’s on a roll and Mike Adams goes the same way as JMC. Two sins down. Can he expunge the rest?
Ted: I dunno? What’s next? Pride? That’s a whole different ball game. Judge may have shaken off envy and sloth but look at that face up there in the ring.
Pride is just spilling out of it like ketchup from a Big Mac.
Scott: Well, I think next week’s match has yet to be finalised but let’s put this week to bed by wishing our viewers pleasant dreams and Mike Adams a safe journey home to wherever he came from.
As Judge raises his hand in the air in celebration, Jeffery O’Donnell walks out with his assistant Jerome. O’Donnell looks stern with disappointment. He has a mic in his hand, and walks straight up the ramp into the ring where The Judge is standing. He looks him right in the face and speaks.
O’Donnell: For too long have I let what you did go unsaid, and now you think you can do it again?
The fans look confused but interested. O’ Donnell looks around and starts talking to the fans.
O’Donnell: You see, a few years ago the wrestling world watched as WPW ended PCW forever by winning the final match at a PPV called When World’s Collide. While this was a nice marketing ploy for PCW to make a few bucks, it wasn’t what really happened. Isn’t that right Judge?
Judge looks at him angry for a moment, but then lowers his head.
O’Donnell: Behind the scenes, I was getting older and the product was going through a transition. I had a deal in place to make PCW bigger and better than ever before by giving it a new network, staff and more talent. My plan was to give PCW to my daughter Stephanie and retire a 48 year old man. However, two days after I signed PCW over to Stephanie… she sold all of the talent and likeness to a small upstart federation, called WPW. Why? For a large lump sum of cash made out to her and her boyfriend… The Judge.
He looks over to The Judge
You killed PCW you bastard, and now… I know what you are doing. You are trying to kill EWE. You see, a man came up to me prior to your match at Cold War and told me if you became Champion, you would hold that title at ransom and then carry it over to UCW. We made an agreement along time ago, when I signed you to a contract, you promised to stay away from the business side of things, if I let you continue your career. Now as you try to take that title, I can see what you are really up to.
Judge: I have no connection to UCW other than….
O’Donnell: SHUT UP! Now, I’ll show you the man who let me know about your little plan.
The music hits and out comes TRENT JAMES
THIS man let me know you intentions, and THIS man let me know before your match at Cold War.
Trent James stands at the top of the ramp and smiles at The Judge and winks.
O’Donnell: Trent James told me about you plan, and I trust him a whole lot more than I trust you. So, to add to your Seven Deadly Sins, if you lose the challenge, Trent James will take your place at EWE Salvation in the World Title Main Event. He will secure the future of EWE, and unlike PCW… he won’t turn his back on it for a little bit of money. You will not kill EWE, I will not let it happen! Ever.
O’Donnell stares down Judge for a moment and leaves the ring. As he walks up the ramp he stops and turns around.
O’Donnell: Oh by the way, next week their will be two Main Events, JMC will take on OBG for the EWE Championship, and in the second, You will face your third sin, Gluttony. It will be The Judge vs. the entire roster, in an over the top battle royal. So you better prepare. Sinner.
The show ends abruptly on that note.
The One: We got to defend our company, and you are getting hammered.
2 throws his bottle at The One, One ducks and it goes crashing against the wall.
2: Brother, this ain't my company... and ain't yours.
The One just looks at him for a moment, and begins to leave the room.
The One: Yeah maybe, but it's all we got. Brother.

February 3rd, 2010
The show opens as OBG, the EWE Champion arrives at the building. Interviewer Billy Flamer runs up to OBG to ask him some questions.
Flamer: Omar, are you ok? Are you ready for tonights match?
Omar: Yeah, I just had to handle a few things.
Flamer looks at Omar's hands and sees dried blood on his fists.
The One vs. Uriel Black
Both men are already in the ring.
Scott: Well some interesting this going on already tonight, and you have to Wonder if The One isn't too distracted with 2 to actually put on a good match.
Ted: All I know is that Omar Gibson might have just killed someone.
Scott: True, but this match is more about UCW and EWE, a friendly competition that has no turned into a battle over the tag team titles.
Ted: Well, I would hope 2 and One do some better promo's when they actually fight for the titles.
Scott: Good point. let's get to the match.
Black Crowd Support- 4/200
One Crowd Support- 21/200
As soon as the bell rings Black attacks One with right hand chops backing him into a corner, Black tries for a roundhouse kick but it is ducked by The One. This causes black to catch himself on the ropes with one leg on either side, painfully. The ref attempts to keep One from Black at this point but The One responds with a dropkick of his own which sends Black flying from the ring to the outside. The ref then begin the count but before he reaches five One rolls Black under the ring and pulls the apron skirt of the ring down as if it would trap him. The One then dusts off his hand and walks off, as if this is all. The Crowd laughs but Uriel, who tears out from under the ring and tackles The One into the barricade on the outside before Flipping The One into a German Suplex.
Scott: Black looks like the fresh man, and The One looks to distracted to fight at his best.
Ted: All I know is that Uriel Black is for real.
Black quickly goes for the pinfall by rolling One into the ring but One kicks out. Before Black can get back up, One drops an elbow on him. Black rolls to the outside to regroup. One runs at and then off the ropes and takes Black out with a suicide dive through the ropes. The fans cheer. One attempts to do the same joke again by placing Black under the ring but Black just shoves One angrily who falls slamming his back and head against the steel steps. Black gets up and runs attempting to smash one head in with a boot. And connects!
Ted: Ouch
Scott: Ouch is right.
Black yells a bunch of swear words at The One but The Tag Champ just flips him off with the finger and smiles. Black sees red and goes for another kick into The One’s head but One rolls and Black kicks nothing but sends the steps flying, and jars his foot at the same time. One then Grabs the foot and Dragon Whips it, Sending Black to the ground. One then rolls Black into the ring. Black gets a Super Dropkick from The One before The One grabs him for the God Like Drop. But Black rolls down and Rolls him up for a surprise 1, 2, 3!
Chet: Winner via pinfall at 8.03, Uriel Black
Black- 50 Euros Earned - +2 Crowd Support for Victory/Beating a Title-holder
One- 0 Euros Earned - -1 Crowd Support for No Show
Scott: The looks really disappointed in himself, and Black just looks cocky.
Ted: I sure hope these guys get their stuff together soon, so we can shut their mouths.
The scene switches to a dark room where the mystery man speaks again.
???: I have so much pride for this new place, and in less than a month you will all see how deep that pride is, especially him. This place is full of the best and brightest, and soon I can add my name to the list of the greats who fought in EWE. I will see you all in good time, until then, keep watching.
Commercial Break.
The One is walking down the hallways and smashed his fist into the wall. Out walks Mike Adams, and he smiles.
Adams: Trouble in paradise?
The One turns to look at him, and stares him down.
The One: You and me... next week... if your man enough.
The One just continues walking down the hallway.
Ironman Championship
The Jokester vs. Jesse Long
Scott: Wouldn't that match be a blast from the past?
Ted: Stop connecting segments!
Chet: Introducing first the Challenger, from AMERICA, Jesssseeee "The AMERICAN" Loooonnnnggg..
Crowd Support- 6/200
"Amerika" by Rammstein hits the speakers and the few members in the crowd who have memorized the theme music begin to boo. Jesse Long walks out on stage with an American flag draped over his shoulders and the crowd upon seeing it give him more heat then he normally would've drawn.
Ted: Listen to the cheap heat Jesse Long is drawing Scott.
Scott: I think these people are booing America, not Jesse Long.
Ted: Perhaps, but Jesse represents America and all that the country stands for.
Scott: Then he's in some serious deep shit tonight because last I heard Americans can't do shit without an Obama endorsement.
Ted: I believe Americans can't do much even with an Obama endorsement Scott.
Chet: And the Ironman Champion... THE JOOOKKKEEESTTERR.
Crowd Support- 5/200
“I Am The Jokester” plays to a small pop from the crowd, The new Ironman Champion appears from behind the curtain and just like last week looks disappointed not more fans are cheering. He comes armed this time though with twin pistols and pulls them out of his pink leotard. The fans in the area begin screaming and ducking down just before Jokester pulls the triggers, sending pathetic streams of water shooting out that barely reach the front seats, but everyone in the arena just seems terrified. Jokester throws the water guns down angrily and just shrugs his shoulders.
Ted: I don't think these fans understand Jokester yet.
Scott: I don't think I understand Jokester yet.
Ted: He's just a guy who likes to have fun Scott.
Scott: Yeah but he's in pink spandex, is clearly older then the date he filled out on his application, and the second he showed up the FBI started phoning in from the states. Rumor has it the reason he left America when he did was because acts of pedophilia were caught on tape.
Ted: All rumors, just like how they said he ran for President.
Scott: He did, didn't he?
Ted: Did he? I don't know, never mind, I'm not defending this guy.
Jokester gets into the ring with a wide smile on his face but Jesse Long isn't smiling. Jesse Long rushes Jokester with a running forearm but Jokester sees him coming and ducks down performing a back body drop that sends Jesse Long to the outside of the ring. Jesse hits the mats outside back first and yells out in pain as the crowd pop. Jokester walks over to where the American Flag had dropped in the ring and he holds it up as the crowd boo, but then he rolls it up into a ball and blows his nose with it drawing a huge pop from the crowd. Jesse Long sees this as he gets up holding his back in pain and rolls back under the bottom rope. Long charges Jokester and misses another clothesline but Jokester is unable to lift him up a second time with the back body drop and the two awkwardly clunk into one another with Jokester's head ending up between Long's legs. Long drives his elbow into the back of Jokester's neck sending the funny man to the mat.
Ted: Jesse Long appears to be genuinely upset that Jokester just blew his nose with the American flag, but the crowd absolutely loved it.
Scott: Well who doesn't like seeing Americans get what's coming to them? I wonder what Cassius thinks of this Jesse Long guy.
Ted: I think we know the answer to that, but if this Ironman curse is not broken tonight then the Ironman Champion is going to be Mr. America himself in there.
Scott: I think he likes to be called 'The American Icon'.
Ted: If he wins the Ironman Championship I'll call him whatever he wants to be called, but until then he just looks like another arrogant American who thinks he's above the cut.
Jesse picks up Jokester and then nails him in the face with a hard right hand. He irish whips Jokester into the ropes and when Jokester bounces off he's met with a spinning back elbow, followed by an elbow drop and then a pin attempt. The referee's hand drops twice but Jokester kicks out and Long brings him back to his feet again. Jokester tries to push Long off but the American Icon jumps into the air and nails his older opponent with a jumping knee to the chin. Jokester falls back and Long signals to the crowd that he has the match in complete control. When the crowd boo Jesse after he makes a V shape to them, he changes his finger to a middle finger sticking straight up in the air and the crowd boo even louder.
Ted: What disrespect, who does this man think he is?
Scott: I don't know, but on the topic of bad press coming from the states, did you hear what THIS guy did?
Ted: You mean the whole sister thing? Disgusting.
Scott: Typical inbred yankee.
Jesse goes to the top rope and signals to the crowd before leaping off with The Long Shot but Jokester rolls out of the way. Jesse bounces off the mat and holds his wrists in pain after the crash landing but Jokester doesn't let him recover, kicking him hard in the ass and sending him back down face first into the mat. Jesse looks mad and embarrassed and quickly gets to his feet while still holding his wrists in pain. Jokester sees the weakness and quickly grabs Long in a wrist lock that ends in a nasty wrist snap. Long holds his wrist in pain but gets back to his feet once more but is knocked to the mat again with a clothesline. Long pops up again, refusing to stay down, and charges at Jokester but Jokester drops to perform a drop toe hold, but Jesse Long jumps over the legs of Jokester and kicks him in the face. Jokester recoils in pain and Jesse smirks again, once again taunting to the crowd and hanging over the ropes to get in a fight with a man holding a sign that says, "Too many Americans in Europe". When the camera shows the sign the crowd all pop which enrages Jesse even more. Jokester takes advantage of the distraction and reaches up to pull Jesse Long's tights down revealing his red white and star spangled blue underwear. Jesse's face turns red as the crowd erupt in laughter and quickly pulls his tights back up, but as he's trying to cover himself up Jokeser quickly rolls him up from behind, but then alters the move so that instead of going for the pin he locks in the No Laughing Matter. Jesse Long screams out in pain and after reaching for the ropes but realizing he's in the wrong corner, he is forced to angrily tap out.
Chet: The winner of this match and still Ironman Champion, Jokester!
Jokester- 100 Euros Earned - +4 Crowd Support for Victory/Good Match/Title Defense
Jesse Long- 25 Euros Earned- +1 Crowd Support for Good Match
Ted: Well the curse has been broken for now, but the real test comes next week. Can Jokester become the longest reigning Iron Man Champion with another victory?
Scott: One victory at a time Teddy! Right now the crowd seem to be connecting with him and judging by the fact that he's already attempting a crowd surf... Key word attempting by the way, I'd say he's happy to be in the moment.
Ted: Well he looks a bit heavy to be crowd surfing but I guess he shouldn't have jumped in the teenage girl section, either way Jokester retains the Ironman Championship and Jesse Long goes back to America empty handed.
Scott: Just like Obama when he tried to take the Olympics. Like anyone cares about Chicago.
Jesse Long stands up, and grabs a mic as he scoots out of the ring.
Jesse: I bet all you dirty foreigners liked that didn't you? Well good, I hope your glad, because next week... you can all refer to me as Jesse" The American" Long, because I don't need to be an Icon to be better than you. Not only that, but my talk show "Made in The USA" with a very special guest. So until then... **** off.
2 vs. Eric Herrera
Scott: Ready to see 2 take on UCW's Eric Herrera?
Ted: Oh yeah..this should be a good match.
Chet: Introducing first, representing UCW Eric Herrera
Crowd Support -4/200
Wherever I May Roam starts to play as the crowd begins to stand up and boo. Eric Herrera walks onto the stages..He walks down the ramp and he keeps a smile as some fans begin to scream out UCW suck. He gets to the ring and stops.
Ted: Well the fans let him know how they feel about him.
Chet: And his opponent, one half of the tag team champions, 2!
Crowd Support- 43/200
Papa Roach's "Walking through barbed wire" Plays and 2 walks out onto the stage slowly. With the tag title around his waist 2 makes his way down the ramp and he rolls into the ring. He hands his belt to the ref and the ref calls for the bell.
Scott: 2 looks a bit more sober since his drama with The One earlier in the show.
Ding Ding Ding
The match begins with both the two men wrapping up. 2 hits Eric with a hard punch, before bending him over with a rough knee to the stomach. 2 then clubs Eric’s back, sending him sprawling to the canvas. Eric gets right up. 2 takes a second to laugh the move off a bit. He charges with a clothesline, and Herrera ducks out of the way. 2 hits the ropes, and Herrera catches him with a schoolboy roll-up.
One…
Two… Kickout!
Ted: Eric almost got the win there!
Scott: I think Herrera is going to have to take 2 a bit more seriously here tonight if he wants to walk away the winner.
2 jumps up to his feet, furious. As soon as he stands, Herrera is ready with a knee-first dropkick. 2 gets knocked down, but stands again. Herrera hits another dropkick, this one sending 2 tumbling through the ropes to the outside.
Scott: Wow..Herrera is on fire tonight!
Ted: Let 2 get warmed up and then we will talk.
2 slides into the ring and at the same time Eric Herrera charges at him with a clothesline. 2 ducks and with Eric's back turned.. 2 screams "Its over!"
Scott: Is..Is 2 going to try to connect with the 2Die4?
Ted: If so then it may be over right here..
2 grabs Eric Herrera but Herrera squirms out of it and is able to spin 2 around and now facing each other. Eric kicks 2 and then connects with a Downward Spiral. He covers 2.
1....2......3!
Chet: Winner via pinfall Eric Herrera!
Herrera- 50 Euros Earned- +3 Crowd Support for Victory/Good Match/Pinning a title-holder

Scott: What just happened!?
Ted: The match is over Scott...
Scott: I know that Ted...but everytime a match begins to get interesting..Bang it ends.Maybe if he wasn't drinking...
Ted: We'll never know.
Commerical Break
We open inside of The Judge's locker-room. He is sitting their alone in thought. When all of a sudden Trent James walks in.
James: Hey, I know what you are going through, just know that if you need anything, I am right behind you through this. I know how it is doing anything to get the title you want.
ANYTHING.
Good luck man, I'm sure you don't need it.
The scene switches back to the ring.
Title Match Ramifications
Risen/Blade/OBG/James vs. JMC/Ranks/T-Dog/Hayden
Scott: Up next, we’ve got a possible game-changer, with eight of EWE’s finest squaring off with huge opportunities on the line!
Ted: Let’s see if I can get this straight. As long as T-Dog and OBG both show up, the pinfall winner in this one gets a shot at the Iron Man Title?
Scott: Unless that man is T-Dog or OBG, in which case that man picks the title match stipulation for next week.
Ted: And if one of those two doesn’t show up, they get replaced by the pinfall winner in said title match!
Scott: Bingo!
“If It Wasn’t For Hate We’d Be Dead By Now” plays out and Kayne Risen appears to little fanfare. Shortly after, “Bleed For Me” cuts in and Blade LaVigne appears behind him. The two are walking to the ring when “Voices” starts to play, signaling the appearance of Trent James. Lastly, “Suffer” rings out and the champ OBG joins his team.
Chet: The following eight man tag match is scheduled for one fall. Entering first, Kayne Risen, Blade LaVigne, Trent James, and the EWE Champion, OBG!
Total Team Crowd Support - 73
The four men take their place in the ring and Risen, James, and LaVigne head to the apron, letting OBG kick off the match.
“Don’t Forget The Rules” plays and JMC comes out from behind the curtain. He lags behind for a second, waiting for his partners. “Hero” follows and Ranks comes out to stand alongside Cassius, then “Six Days” plays and Michael Hayden comes out. The three stand on the stage waiting for T-Dog’s music but get nothing. Eventually “Six Days” cuts out leaving the teams in silence.
Chet: And their opponents, JMC, Jeremiah Ranks, and Michael Hayden!
Total Team crowd Support - 72
Scott: I’d say business just picked up!
Ted: No T-Dog? Suddenly this match is for number one contendership!
The three man team nods to each other and blitzes the ring. Each having a similar idea, the three rush at OBG, trying to weaken up the champ for a potential encounter next week. An angry Kayne Risen and Trent James run all three out of the ring. Jeremiah Ranks slides into the ring and locks up with OBG, then drops him with a powerful DDT. He tries to cover him for an early victory but Blade LaVigne intervenes. He pulls Ranks to his feet and begins to wail on Ranks with right hands, eventually forcing official Martin Rizzo to pull him off and tell him to return to his corner.
Scott: Blade LaVigne got a little intense with Ranks there.
Ted: Hey, with a title shot on the line, even Blade LaVigne can start to look dangerous!
The distraction by Blade allows OBG to return to his feet and mount a surprise offensive on Jeremiah Ranks. He opens up his attack with a couple of right hands before bouncing off the ropes and flooring Ranks with a big shoulder block. Ranks jumps back to his feet and locks up the champ, irish whipping him back to the ropes. Ranks ducks under an attempted clothesline and OBG gets hit from behind by JMC’s elbow. The Prince of Cats grins from the apron and holds out his hand. Ranks ponders for a second and then steps away from his partner, instead choosing to focus on beating on OBG some more. Ranks jumps into the air and plants a knee on the small of OBG’s back, causing a cry of pain from the EWE Champ. Ranks goes for a cover and gets two.
Scott: Ranks just shunned his tag team partner?
Ted: Things are different in this kind of match Scott, it’s really every man for himself.
Ranks pulls OBG back to his feet and is thanked for his troubles with a jab to the gut. Jeremiah doubles over in pain and struggles over to his corner. An alert OBG seizes the moment and irish whips Ranks into the opposite corner, then tags in Blade LaVigne. Blade and Omar stomp away at Ranks until Rizzo pulls Omar back to his corner. Blade pulls Ranks into the ring and connects with a swift kick to the gut, then tosses Ranks out of the ring, where he lands on Risen, James, and Hayden brawling on the outside. The crowd applauds wildly as the four superstars get laid out on the floor and LaVigne taunts openly to the applause. After a count of about 5 Ranks pulls himself back into the ring only to get viciously stomped away at by LaVigne. Ranks struggles towards his corner but Blade pulls him back to his feet and into a vertical suplex, separating him from JMC once more.
Scott: Think he regrets not tagging in earlier?
Ted: I’m still just impressed with LaVigne, he looks like a man possessed.
This comment appears to jinx the young LaVigne, who has his next suplex attempt countered with a knee to the gut, followed by a big dropkick to the face. LaVigne and Ranks lay stranded in the middle of the ring and both begin to crawl to their corners. After a few moments each succeeds, LaVigne in tagging in OBG and Ranks in tagging in JMC. Cassius wastes no time being upset at his partner and instead rushes to OBG. JMC gets Omar to double over with a running kick to the gut, then drops him with a big time dropkick. OBG stumbles back to his feet but JMC brings him back down with a running crossbody. He covers the champ but Blade manages to break up the pin attempt. A weakened Ranks hobbles into the ring to stop Blade from doing more damage but gets tossed from the ring for his trouble. Blade pursues Ranks outside and whips him into the barricade swiftly.
Inside the ring both OBG and JMC return to their feet. JMC grapples OBG to try and pull him into The Soliloquy but OBG pushes him away, forcing Cassius to bounce off the ropes and return to the champ. Gibson is ready and leaps up, bringing his knees to Cassius’s face to pull off The O.C. Yo, but JMC pushes him away at the last second. OBG crashes to the ground and quickly returns to his feet, but runs right into Cassius and his knee. Omar doubles over and Cassius quickly snatches his head, dropping him with a vicious tornado DDT. JMC covers and gets 1…2…3!
Winner by pinfall at 9 minutes, JMC, Jeremiah Ranks, and Michael Hayden
Chet: Ladies and gentlemen... your new number one contender…. James Moriarty Cassius!

Commerical Break
Main Event
Seven Deadly Sins II - Sloth
The Judge vs. Mike Adams
Scott: Next up - it’s the second in a series of contests where Judge explores his inner psyche, looks into the void and picks his way through the sodden mess that is his sinful life.
Ted: And this week, the sin that returns to haunt The Judge is sloth - I thought that was an arboreal mammal native to Central and South America.
Scott: You’re not wrong, Ted, but Judge is not wrestling with a three toed Folivora - He’s fighting a man better associated with Gerbillinae - that’s gerbils to you and me.
Ted: That’s a sex life to Mike Adams.
Scott: But Mike has put all that behind him and he has now come to EWE to pursue a longstanding vendetta against his former nemesis, The Judge.
Chet: This next match is the second in a series of contests sanctioned by EWE management. Introducing first, representing EWE and hailing from Los Angeles, California, he is The Judge!
Judge stands motionless at the top of the ramp for several seconds as his music - Kid Cudi’s ’Heart of a Lion’ plays out. Eventually an arm, possible belonging to Jeffrey O’Donnell prods him in the back and Judge trudges down the ramp with no acknowledgement of the rampside fans. His music runs out before he clambers up the steps ringside. Referee Todd Franklin comes up to him and seems to ask if Judge is feeling OK.
Ted: The unfamiliar face in the ring is EWE’s newest acquisition - experienced referee Todd Franklin.
Scott: Wooooaah, I’ve heard of him. Weren’t there some rumours of bribery, steroid abuse and unexplained pregnancy in his last place of employment?
Ted: You talk like that’s a bad thing.
Judge takes his place in the corner of the ring, wipes some sweat from his forehead and takes a swig of water from the bottle he has brought with him.
Chet: His opponent, hailing from New York City, New York and representing himself, he is Miiiiiiiiiike Adaaaaaaaaaams!
Adams appears with both arms raised but gets overwhelming boos from the crowd. A sign says ‘Mike Adams - The Worm in the Big Apple’
Adams’ smile does not leave his face however and he rushes the ring, slides under the bottom rope and begins to whale on Judge with lefts and rights. Todd Franklin calls for the bell.
Ding Ding.
Judge defends himself with raised arms but doesn’t come back with any offence.
Scott: Judge looks as though he wants to be somewhere else.
Adams tucks Judges head under his arm and floors him with a DDT then kicks his prone body two or three times. He lifts Judge into a Vertical Suplex then floors him with extreme violence, keeping on the cover for a count.
Todd Franklin shrugs and goes to the mat. He slaps the mat once……………..twice…………..but, before a third impact, Judge gets his shoulder up and kicks a surprised Adams in the head.
Judge gets to his knees and holds the bridge of his nose in his hand while giving his head a shake.
Scott: There’s definitely something wrong with Judge.
Ted: No, Scott, this is just what everyone has been saying - Judge is too slothful to really overwhelm EWE like he ought to. A big opportunity like this comes along and Judge is just too goddam lazy to put in the effort that it takes.
Adams recovers and pulls Judge to his feet before flooring him again with a Swinging Neck Breaker. Judge gives a squeal of pain but rolls out of the ring before Adams can come at him with a further cover. Todd Franklin starts to count but Judge shakily makes his way round the outside to his corner. Mike Adams tries to find a way past Franklin to try a Suicide Dive or similar through the ropes but Franklin bars the way as the count reaches six.
Judge gets to his corner and picks up his water-bottle discarded there. He sniffs it and recoils.
Scott: Oh oh. Has someone put something in Judges drink? That would explain his apparent ennui.
Ted: Nonsense. It’s just an excuse. Judge will be wanting to be put on the injury list for a couple of weeks - that’s all.
Judge angrily throws a way the bottle and gets up on the apron as Franklin reaches eight. Adams comes at him but Judge dips a shoulder and drives it into Adams’ exposed midsection. Adams doubles over allowing Judge to roll over his back and pull Adams after him for a Small Package. Judge remains weak though so Adams reverses this and gets on his own pin, using the ropes for extra leverage. Franklin spots this and knocks Adams legs down to the mat and tells him to get on with the wrestling.
Adams looks both angry and anxious as Judge’s head clears and he makes threatening gestures to Adams then points to the water bottle. Adams' expression changes to first a grin, then a shrug of the shoulders denying all knowledge.
Scott: Looks as though Mike Adams has been rumbled.
Both men get to their feet and exchange some chops and forearms, Judge becoming stronger with each blow. Finally, Adams does not respond, so Judge whips him across the ring and bends for a back body flip on the rebound. Adams stops himself in time though and brings up a knee to knock Judge flat to the mat. Judge lies still so Adams goes for a Moonsault but is too slow. Judge just rolls aside in time and Adams hits bare mat instead. This time, Judge hooks Adams’ leg and applies pressure for the pin.
1.……………….2.………….Adams gets a shoulder up.
Scott: Judge is still weakened by whatever has been in that water bottle. Normally that would have been enough to end the contest.
Judge releases the hold but lifts Adams by the neck and thrusts him through the ropes to the outside. He lands on his feet but Judge jumps over the ropes and Crossbodies Adams to the concrete surround.
Judge is first to rise but he spots the discarded water bottle and pours the remaining contents over Adams and into his opened mouth. Adams splutters.
Ted: Now who’s doing something illegal - that’s a foreign object!
Scott: I think Judge is just evening up the contest, that’s all.
Once the bottle is empty, Judge picks Adams up and thrusts him under the bottom rope back into the ring. He follows him in but Adams gets in a desperation Dropkick before he can step through the ropes. Judge drops again to the surround. Adams comes to grab Judge by the hair but Judge grabs both his ankles and floors him then hops onto the ring apron and springboards into a leg drop.
Franklin counts……..1.……………..2.…………………Adams once again gets a shoulder up in time.
Judge rises and gets Adams into a Jail Cell (Chicken Wing Sleeper)
Scott: That move is called a Jail Cell. That’s exactly where Adams should be now in my opinion.
Ted: Scott! What happened to your legendary impartiality?
Scott: It left whenever Mike Adams poisoned that bottle of Judge’s.
Ted: I think that you’re leaping to conclusions, Scott. Let’s wait for the autopsy before we pass judgement.
Mike Adams starts to flag and Todd Franklin lifts Adams’ arm, but Adams grabs Franklin and pulls him into Judge. They clash heads and both men fall.
Mike Adams springs up and stomps Judge three……..four times, then grabs a leg and twists him into a single leg crab. Judge grabs the ropes and thrusts Adams backwards. He rebounds off the rope but walks into a clothesline. Judge picks him up and delivers the Judgement DDT. He covers.
Todd Franklin recovers and crawls over groggily. He slaps the mat.
One
Two
Three times.
He calls for the bell.
Ding Ding
Chet: Your winner of the Second Deadly Sin Match - the conqueror of Sloth…..by pinfall…..The Juuuuuuuuuuuudge!
Judge- 50 Euros earned - +4 for Main Event/Epic RP
Adams - 25 Euros earned - +3 for Epic Match/Main Event
Scott: And Judge takes it! He’s on a roll and Mike Adams goes the same way as JMC. Two sins down. Can he expunge the rest?
Ted: I dunno? What’s next? Pride? That’s a whole different ball game. Judge may have shaken off envy and sloth but look at that face up there in the ring.
Pride is just spilling out of it like ketchup from a Big Mac.
Scott: Well, I think next week’s match has yet to be finalised but let’s put this week to bed by wishing our viewers pleasant dreams and Mike Adams a safe journey home to wherever he came from.
As Judge raises his hand in the air in celebration, Jeffery O’Donnell walks out with his assistant Jerome. O’Donnell looks stern with disappointment. He has a mic in his hand, and walks straight up the ramp into the ring where The Judge is standing. He looks him right in the face and speaks.
O’Donnell: For too long have I let what you did go unsaid, and now you think you can do it again?
The fans look confused but interested. O’ Donnell looks around and starts talking to the fans.
O’Donnell: You see, a few years ago the wrestling world watched as WPW ended PCW forever by winning the final match at a PPV called When World’s Collide. While this was a nice marketing ploy for PCW to make a few bucks, it wasn’t what really happened. Isn’t that right Judge?
Judge looks at him angry for a moment, but then lowers his head.
O’Donnell: Behind the scenes, I was getting older and the product was going through a transition. I had a deal in place to make PCW bigger and better than ever before by giving it a new network, staff and more talent. My plan was to give PCW to my daughter Stephanie and retire a 48 year old man. However, two days after I signed PCW over to Stephanie… she sold all of the talent and likeness to a small upstart federation, called WPW. Why? For a large lump sum of cash made out to her and her boyfriend… The Judge.
He looks over to The Judge
You killed PCW you bastard, and now… I know what you are doing. You are trying to kill EWE. You see, a man came up to me prior to your match at Cold War and told me if you became Champion, you would hold that title at ransom and then carry it over to UCW. We made an agreement along time ago, when I signed you to a contract, you promised to stay away from the business side of things, if I let you continue your career. Now as you try to take that title, I can see what you are really up to.
Judge: I have no connection to UCW other than….
O’Donnell: SHUT UP! Now, I’ll show you the man who let me know about your little plan.
The music hits and out comes TRENT JAMES
THIS man let me know you intentions, and THIS man let me know before your match at Cold War.
Trent James stands at the top of the ramp and smiles at The Judge and winks.
O’Donnell: Trent James told me about you plan, and I trust him a whole lot more than I trust you. So, to add to your Seven Deadly Sins, if you lose the challenge, Trent James will take your place at EWE Salvation in the World Title Main Event. He will secure the future of EWE, and unlike PCW… he won’t turn his back on it for a little bit of money. You will not kill EWE, I will not let it happen! Ever.
O’Donnell stares down Judge for a moment and leaves the ring. As he walks up the ramp he stops and turns around.
O’Donnell: Oh by the way, next week their will be two Main Events, JMC will take on OBG for the EWE Championship, and in the second, You will face your third sin, Gluttony. It will be The Judge vs. the entire roster, in an over the top battle royal. So you better prepare. Sinner.
The show ends abruptly on that note.
