The show opens with The One and SiNN standing and talking in the back.
The One: So, everyone is here, you think it’s a possibility? I mean, I guess you could still be the leader if you really want it to, old friend.
SiNN: That’s for another time and another place, but let me ask you… why are you against The Judge so much.
The One: Because for everything that is great about him, he still doesn’t get it. For everything that makes him valiant, there is something that makes weak. He once tried to lead me out of the darkness of ego, I am now returning the favor. So if you don’t beat him, I will.
Suddenly, Kayne Risen and Jesse Long walk up.
Long: If this isn’t a moment in time, the boys all in the same room. Too bad next time I’ll be seeing you Onesy is when I take your tag team titles.
Risen looks at One and grins.
Kayne: shouldn’t you be retiring?
One: You understand you use to be my mentor?
Long: Don’t listen to him, he’s probably plotting his next turn. Is 2 the next man you turn on? I guess we’ll just have to watch and find out….
Long and Kayne walk away.

Iron man Championship
2 vs. The Jokester
Scott: Welcome to EWE Awakening 10! Everyone, this is a big night for us all, and we are celebrating this tenth show with a huge card, First, we have 2 squaring off against The Jokester in one on one competition for the Ironman Championship.
Ted: This should be interesting to see, I’m looking forward to this one!
Scott: Both Jokester and 2 had their digs at each other in their promos but it all comes down to this.
Ted: I think that going into this match both men are pretty even and it should be one hell of a match.
The Jokester 15/250 Crowd Support
"I Am The Walrus" by The Beatles hits as The Jokester appears on the stage and gets a pop as he walks down to the ring rubbing the Iornman Championship that is slung over his shoulder. Jokester approaches the ring and slides in, as he stands up he hands the title to referee Martin Rizzo.
2 46/250 Crowd Support
"Walking through barbed wire" by Papa Roach hits as 2 comes out onto the stage. The crowd cheer as 2 looks around the arena at them and walks slowly down the ramp. 2 gets to the bottom of the ramp and walks up the ring steps then enters the ring between the top and second ropes. 2 then glares at Jokester and stands waiting for the bell to ring.
2 and Jokester stare each other down as they stand across the ring from each other. 2 then steps towards Jokester, Jokester notices and walks towards 2. The pair meet in the middle of the ring and 2 slaps Jokester across the cheek. Jokester reels back for a moment before returning the favour. Jokester and 2 shoot each other a look before locking up in a collar and elbow tie up and jostling for the advantage. After a moment or two, Jokester comes out on top shoving 2 down to the mat due to his height and weight advantage. With 2 down, Jokester mocks him with a muscle flex taunt and laughing. 2 gets back to his feet and runs towards Jokester. Jokester immediately counters 2 with a drop toe hold and he quickly follows up with an elbow drop to the back.
Scott: Looks like Jokester has the early advantage with his size and power Teddy.
Ted: It’s Ted, not Teddy. And it does indeed look like this match would favour the bigger man at this point.
2 is lying flat on his stomach, grasping at his back, as Jokester leans over him and grabs 2’s feet, before rolling him over. 2, now on his back, looks to be in a world of trouble as Jokester waves at the referee and points into the crowd. The ref looks into the crowd, wondering what Jokester is motioning to, and with the ref distracted, Jokester quickly grabs 2’s ankles and splits hiss legs, before droppings a knee to the groin! The crowd immediately show their displeasure. 2 is now writhing in pain and Jokester smiles at the referee as he turns back around. Jokester looks down at 2 and smirks as he then begins to stomp on 2’s legs.
Scott: A veteran move there from Jokester!
Ted: Veteran? I would say sneaky!
Scott: Whatever you call it, you gotta admit, it’s smart wrestling.
With Jokester now stomping away on 2, 2 looks to be in trouble. That is, until Jokester begins moving around to 2’s body and stomping away at his chest. 2 somehow manages to compose himself long enough to grab Jokesters foot and push away on it, causing Jokester to stumble away long enough for 2 to get to his feet. 2 immediately runs towards Jokester, hitting him with a fast lariat that drops the stumbling comedian. With Jokester down, 2 delivers a big knee drop to Jokesters gut, but he doesn’t get up, instead, 2 goes for a sneaky pin hoping to catch Jokester unaware.
One...
Two...
Jokester kicks out on two, and 2 gets to his knees and carries on the punishment by punching Jokester in the ribs and gut. Jokester struggles into a sitting position and grabs 2’s forehead, before nailing a head butt to 2, enabling him to get some breathing room when 2 falls backwards. Jokester quickly gets to his feet as 2 does the same. Jokester charges towards 2 and 2 simply nails a beautiful standing dropkick, right in Jokester’s face. Jokester slumps to the canvas as 2 lands on his back. However, 2 gets straight back to his feet and quickly bends down, grabbing Jokester’s feet and dragging him away from the ropes. 2 then transitions into a camel clutch and. 2 is now in firm control of this match as he wrenches away on Jokesters chin. Jokester appears to be in great pain, but he still struggles against 2, grasping at his hands. Jokester changes his strategy and manages to grab 2’s legs. He manages to knock 2 slightly off balance and Jokester shows great strength as he stands up with 2 on his back! With 2 on his back, Jokester quickly drops to canvas, squashing 2 between the canvas and his own ample frame but 2 shows great tenacity and manages to turn the camel clutch into a sleeper hold, thus keeping the pressure on Jokester.
Jokester is now in serious trouble is in the middle of the ring. He slowly gets up to his knees and begins rocking to the left and right, hoping to gather momentum. Jokester then manages to get enough momentum from rolling to roll onto his hands and knees, and 2’s grip loosens enough for him to lowly manages to make it to his feet, though with 2 still holding onto the sleeper, much like a pit bull. Jokester reaches back and grabs the head of 2 and quickly throws him over his shoulder. 2 lands on the mat with a thud as Jokester slumps down to the mat, leaving both men down.
Scott: Wow, some great action here folks!
Ted: I’ve gotta admit, this has been some back and forth stuff here with both men showing some great ring sense.
Scott: I honestly don’t know what’s going to happen next.
Ted: We have seen some classic wrestling and some unorthodox wrestling, this has been a pretty unusual match here.
2 gets back to his feet and walks towards Jokester. 2 leans down to grab Jokester and as he does, 2 is grabbed and rolled up by Jokester.
One...
Two...
2 barely kicks out in time as Jokester grabs a sly two count. 2 quickly rolls up to his feet as Jokester gets to his knees. He signals with his thumb and index finger that he was ‘that close’ to pinning 2 right there. 2 backs away from Jokester, 2 and stops. He looks down at Jokester, who is still on his knees, taunting him. 2 smirks and slaps his knee, signalling to the crowd his is going for the shining wizard! Jokester realises what is coming and ducks underneath 2’s knee. 2 stops and quickly turns around, realising he missed Jokester. As 2 turns to face Jokester, Jokester grabs 2’s ankles and pulls his legs out from under him. 2 lands on his back while Jokester quickly stands up walks towards 2, who is just now getting to his feet. Jokester waits for 2 to get his feet, and grabs 2’s head and arm. Jokester immediately whips him into the corner, and then runs at 2, as he is slumped in the corner. Jokester jumps to the second rope from the floor and begins hitting hard right hands, straight into the head of 2, as the crowd count along
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
FIVE!
SIX!
As Jokesters arm comes down for the seventh punch, 2 blocks it and places his arms under Jokesters legs. 2 stands up straight and lifts Jokester into a powerbomb position! 2 stumbles out of the corner with Jokester on his shoulders and slams him down with a sickening thud as both men fall to the floor. 2 still has his wits about him, despite the fact that Jokester has just been pounding his head with right hands and drapes his arm across Jokesters chest as the referee slides down into position for the count.
One...
Two...
Thr...
Jokester just manages to roll his shoulder up on two and a half and 2 slaps the mat in frustration. 2 gets to his feet and grabs Jokesters head, dragging him up to his feet. However, it appears Jokester is playing possum, as Jokester is dragged up to his feet, he breaks 2’s grip and kicks 2 in the gut, doubling him over. Jokester quickly grabs his head and shoves it between his legs, obviously setting up for a powerbomb. Jokester then lifts 2, holds him on his shoulders for a second and slams him down with a huge powerbomb. Jokester gets back to his feet and taunts 2, inciting the crowd. Jokester signals for another powerbomb, Jokester grabs 2’s head and drags him to his feet. Jokester forces his head down and lifts 2 into the air but 2 jumps off of Jokesters shoulders, most likely on instinct, and lands behind him. 2 immediately hits the 2Die4! With Jokester flat out, 2 slumps down and lands across Jokester’s chest. Referee Martin Rizzo slides into position and counts...
One...
Two...
Three!
Chet Patterson: Here is your winner, and NNNNNNNNEEEEEEEWWWWWW IORNMAN CHAMPION 2!
Ted: What a great match there folks!
Scott: And what a win for 2. Ya know, I seriously expected Jokester to win. I think this might have to go down as an upset.
Ted: I think this now means that 2 is the first double champion that EWE has had since this great company was founded!
Scott: This isn’t going to sit well with Jokester.
Ted: The One and 2 will be hitting the bars tonight I think! A big win for 2 and a great match for all of us here live, and at home to watch.
The camera switches to The Judge sitting alone in his locker room. He stands up and walks out. He walks through the hallways, and every star he sees gives him a dirty look. He walk over to the grab a cup of coffee, and then heads back to the locker room. He enters the room and looks shocked.
???: We need to talk.

Check it out!
...And We're Back!
Attraction Match
Purse: 350 Euros
Trent James vs. Omar Gibson
Scott: Well that certainly looks like a great card WPW has in store, we will be sure to check that out! Moving right along, we have two men already in the ring ready to fight. OBG is one week removed from a heartbreaking loss at the hands of JMC, now he must rebound against Trent James.
Ted: Trent James though is on the cusp of greatness, hoping and praying for The Judge to fail one more Sin. Then he would move on to the biggest match of his career.
Scott: Very true, but don't forget Omar Gibson's match at the PPV either, he could be facing the end of his career in EWE if he doesn't defeat T-Dog.
OBG and Trent start in the middle of the ring and Trent starts things off with a punch right to OBG’s face. OBG however is able to smile at this and punch Trent James Twice in response, sending him to the ground but scurrying back up fast. Trent then tackles OBG and takes him down They suffle for a while before the referee pulls them up and tells them to lockup properly.
Eventually they do so and OBG gets the dominance with an armbar that throws Trent James from the ring. Omar laughs and moves closer to him but Trent pulls his legs out from under him. Trent then climbs into the ring and drops several well placed elbows onto his head and goes for a pinfall.. that earns a 1 count.
Scott: He has to do more than that to beat Omar, he is a former World Champion after all.
Ted: Don't be stupid Trent, it could cost you.
Trent hoists Omar to his feet and dives at him with a Sleep Walking Kick, but OBG catches it and holds on to apply an Ankle Lock to his opponent. Trent is caught massively by surprise and immediately tries to make it to the ropes by throwing his body at it, but it gives Omar enough time to move further into the Ring! Trent wails in pain and Omar moves his ankle further and further the wrong way. Eventually Trent gets close enough to the ropes to reach, but is pulled back by OBG. Trent flips over and successfully kicks OBG off him. OBG runs back at him but is met with Trents two feet and monkey flipped upside down into the Ropes where her lands rather awkwardly.
Trent hoists up OBG while favoring his leg. OBG delivers a lariat to Trent which knocks him down. OBG then holds his head for a few seconds and groggily make shis way up the ring apron. OBG moves to make his Black Star Splash on Trent when James shakes the ropes. Making OBG lose his footing and fall onto the top Rope. Trent then delivers a nasty looking Sensation from Below from the top Rope for the pinfall victory
Winner at 10:23. TRENT JAMES
Scott: Well there you have it, Trent James breaks his losing streak while Omar Gibson's continues. Omar needs to find his magic soon, or he could face the unemployment line. Oh wait... what's this...
“Don’t Forget the Rules” begins to play as the crowd rises to a considerable amount of booing. Eventually, after several seconds, A pyrotechnic goes off and the Music dies down to reveal The standing sillouhette of James Moriarty Cassius, his arms out to the side and the EWE Title belt.
Scott: I wondered how long this would take. It’s JMC, our brand new World Champion.
Ted: Correct, He’s coming off a victory from our Former Champion OBG. Who later has to defend his chance at a rematch against Trent James.
JMC has now made it down to the ring, and has places himself in the middle of the ring, pointing to his EWE title and then bowing. Eventually from within his jacket he pulls a microphone. Omar and Trent walk to the back, looking very closely at the Champion as his face is on the big screen.
JMC: Europe. You are Welcome.
You are welcome for I have done this for you, for your pride and for mine as well. I have become the EWE Champion not for personal glory, but for the pure fact that no one else can. Can you honestly say that there is another more deserving than me?
No, you cannot.
I am sometimes saddened to see that you cannot comprehend this. I am irritated that you would cheer the name of The Judge at my first gracing of your presence as The Prince of EWE. It hurts me so deeply. But I am not here to talk about my pain, but to show you what the Era of Cassius will show. I have Three Golden Rules that will lay the foundation of EWE
1) Assert Thy Dominance
2) Respect The Land
3) Do not aim for that which is too far above you
These rules are going to replace the seven deadly sins. These rules will outlast The Judge’s little vain attempt at becoming an interesting person. These rules will be proven over these few weeks Starting with the sad life of T-Dog coming to an end in Europe. Next week, you wills ee the effects of punishment on another rulebreaker. And then before the Pay Per View, Before I defend my title religiously at the great altar of Wrestling. You will see the Third Rule.
Scott: Respect The Land? Is that an environmental warning?
Ted: I think it has more to Do with Respecting Europe. JMC does harp on about the place.
JMC: This is to the Rest of EWE, I follow these rules. I understand what they will mean for the Future of EWE. If you wish to challenge them, be my guest. If you wish to lose, I ask you to challenge them.
He looks down at the Camera and smiles his arrogant smirk.
I beg you.

Introducing EWE Classes
At Level 70 of your European Crowd Support you will be able to select what type of wrestler you are. You will have a choice of 4, that will effect the money you make and/or the crowd support you will receive each week. This ranking Class will replace your current standard contract and it will change the color of your name in all previews and junctions to represent your class. Let me know introduce the new classes. Remember these are just brief descriptions, all the stats and moneys per each character will be in a separate thread.
All Arounder Class
This is the class closest to your current contract, you will still receive the same amount of money per shows and the same crowd support. This will allow to progress in money and crowd support at a good even pace and there is no major penalty for losing of no showing. This class will be the automatic class for those who do select classes. Boring, but effective.
The High Flyer Class
High Flyer or MoTY candidates should select this class, because they are all about putting on a great show. This ranking gives you a better chance to be noticed world wide when you put on an epic match. it gives you +2 Crowd Support for a Good Match and plus +3 for an epic match. However, if you lay an egg in the ring, you will lose -2 Crowd Support and if you no show you will lose -5 Crowd Support. If you win a PPV match or an Title match with a epic RP battle, you will receive +4 Crowd Support for every crowd support class including world wide! On the downside, High Flyers make less money than all the other classes, getting a measly 10 Euros per appearance, and 50 Euros per regular win.
The Main Player Class
Big name stars should go for this one, because it will make you bigger than Hugo. As a Main Player, you will be much like the all arounder class but with more perks. A Main Event or title appearance as a main player will give you +1 Crowd Support and 100 Euros just for RPing, and if you win a Main Event or title match, you will receive 250 Euros, and crowd support times 2 multiplier for what you have already earned and +2 for your World Wide Crowd Support. The downside of this class, is that if you no show a main event or title match, you will lose -5 crowd support. Even bigger, If you no show a non main event match you will lose -9. It's all about name value here, so if you are a Main Player it's best if you show up. Main Players make the most money of all the classes. 35 Euros per regular appearance and 65 per regular win.
The Veteran Class
This class is all about showing up each week and doing your job, no need to win Main Events or put on Epic RP battles here. If you show up and you wrestle each week you will be rewarded. In this class you will earn +2 crowd support for every match appearance (not counting no shows) and 50 Euros per appearance. If you win the Ironman Championship while having this, all of your stats including money will have a multiplier of 2. So if you earned +4 Crowd Support and 100 Euros in one night as Iron Champion, expect double that. Also if you manage to win a world title, every night you defend the world title, you will have a multiplier of 3 around the world, that means it will count towards Europe, American and World Wide. The downside of this class is that if you no show, you will lose 500 Euros, and 10 Crowd Support. If you no show a PPV, we will double that. The Veteran class make the least for winning but the most for appearance. That make 75 per appearance, and 25 for win
.... And we're back!
We come back from commercial to see The Jokester standing in front of Jeffery O'Donnell
Jokester: Puppet Master, as the only thing keeping this company afloat, I demand that the longest reigning Ironman has a chance to reclaim his title once again. Be it against, 2, 3 , A , B, Red, Blue, or Green... I am here to make demands, or at very least hint at ideas, until you think you thought of them yourself.
O'Donnell: No worries Jokester, because at Damnation, every former Ironman Champion will have the opportunity to reclaim his title, in a special EWE One Fall Scramble for the Ironman Championship. Until then, get the hell out of my office!
We cut back to the ring.
Scott: Well we are back from commercial, and I must say, JMC might be the first true Championship force here in EWE.
Ted: Speaking of Championship forces, the tag team championships will be defended at Damnation, and we are about to find out against who. First we have Phill Bennett and Michael Hayden, two men who while don’t see eye to eye, have a great opportunity.
Scott: Then there is Jesse Long and Kayne Risen, two men with a long history together who are ready to take on their other old friends in a SiNNdicate reunion at the PPV.
Ted: Well a new rule in EWE is that all tag teams, new or old, must come out together, so let’s get to the introductions.
Hayden/Bennett - 9 Combined Crowd Support.
First comes Michael Hayden and Phill Bennett, by their body movement you can tell that they aren’t friendly, but both seem to have a mission. They enter the ring at roughly the same time, while Bennett jumps up the turnbuckle, Hayden remains listless in the middle of the ring.
Scott: As you can see, no love lost between these two men. Especially Hayden being persistent about not wanting to tag with anyone.
Risen/Long - 28 Combined Crowd Support
Next comes Kayne Risen and Jesse Long, while Risen receives moderate boos Jesse Long is received some very hateful jeers. Jesse Long stops and ask for a mic.
Long: Be for we go any further, it’s time to stand up for the pledge of allegiance.
Kayne puts his hand over his chest, and so does Jesse.
Long: I pledge allegiance to the United States of America, for which it stands… Wait, you Euro trash doesn’t deserve to hear these sacred words… Kayne let’s do this.
Scott: Well that’s the lovely Mr. Long everyone.
Ding Ding
The match starts off with Jesse Long and Phill Bennett, both men exchange blows for a few moments, until Phill Bennett connects with a knee to the chest, after staggering Jesse Long, he connects with a drop kick sending long to the ground. As Phill goes to pick him up, Jesse delivers a low blow, then Jesse rushes to his corner to tag in Risen. Risen being far stronger, picks up Bennett easily and puts him in a headlock, Bennett tries to go for the tag but Hayden doesn’t see it. After a minute of being held bennett shows some sign of weakness. The ref raises his hand but he catches it. Bennett then begins to fight out of the predicament, a elbow to the chest, than another. He finally stuns Risen enough to get out, he then bounces himself off the ropes and heads at Risen for the clothesline, Risen sees him suddenly and both men are met with the same fate, a clothesline across the neck.
Scott: Bennett really needs to get up and get the tag Ted, seems like he’s been in there too long. Especially against these seasoned competitors.
Ted: Most importantly Hayden is the freshes man in the match, getting him in now would be a great move.
Both men start to regain there ability to move, and the both start there crawl to make the hot tags. Kayne Risen seems a bit closer then bennett, so he makes the take to Jesse first, but at the last moment Phill extends and leaps towards Hayward for the tag and… Hayden drops to the apron. Phill looks on stunned for a moment, but suddenly Jesse grabs his lead and thinking quickly he kicks Jesse off of him. He makes it to his feet and sees that he has to go it alone. He then charges Long and spears him. He goes for the pin, but Risen breaks it up. He then picks up Phill Bennett and choke slams him. Risen leaves the ring, and Jesse hit’s the turnbuckle, puts his hand on his chest, and then hit’s the modified frog splash, the Long Shot. He makes the pins.
Chet: Your winners, and new number 1 contenders… Jesse Long and Kayne Risen!
Scott: A valiant effort from Phill Bennett, but his partner screwed him.
Ted: It’s hard out here for a Bennett.
We return to the backstage area.
Cole: Sometimes we got to come to grips with that what is right and wrong, doesn't necessarily mean a damn thing when you got bills to pays. Everything is relative, and a man must feed evil if it helps protect what's good for him. So at Damnation, I got JMC's spot in the Ironman title match. Ain't nothing sayin' I'm going to win, but ain't nothing saying I wont.

Thy 3 Golden Rules
1. “Assert dominance on the lowly Masses”
JMC vs. T-Dog
Scott: Well, in what most of us can only assume is a bit of a prod at The Judge, our champion James Cassius has chosen to get his own gauntlet going.
Ted: Yes, JMC’s three golden rules kick off tonight with a match against the once mighty T-Dog.
Scott: Once mighty indeed. JMC has dubbed this rule “Assert dominance on the lowly masses.”
Ted: Guess it goes to show how our champ feels about T-Dog.
Chet: Ladies and gentlemen this match is scheduled for one fall, is the first of JMC’s three golden rules! Making his way to the ring at 245 lbs, Teeeeeeeee-Dog!
T-Dog - Crowd Support 17/250
T-Dog makes his way onto the stage and raises his hand. His gathers a mixed crowd reaction, smirks, and makes his way to the ring. A little fanfare later, he taunts on the turnbuckle until JMC enters.
Chet: And his opponent, accompanied to the ring by Cole, at 195 lbs, he is the EWE Heavyweight Champion, James Moriarty Cassius!
JMC – Crowd Support 46/250
Cassius emerges with monsterous Cole in tow. The crowd booes the champion heavily as he clutches the belt tightly to his shoulder and grins. He slides into the ring, with Cole close behind and stares T-Dog down. T-Dog starts yelling at JMC and pointing at Cole, prompting JMC to call for a microphone. He grabs it and smiles before addressing the crowd.
“I know, I know T-Dog. You don’t trust me, or Cole in any event. That’s okay, I don’t plan on having Cole be a part of tonight’s match. You see, tonight marks the first of JMC’s three golden rules, and that rule is to assert dominance on the lowly masses. What kind of man would I be if I allowed some other man to show off my strength for me? So T-Dog, Cole will be watching from backstage, you don’t have to worry. About that, at least.”
JMC then promptly drops the mic and begins to assault T-Dog with right hands. Cole slides out of the ring and walks calmly to the back, much to the crowd’s amusement. The bell rings as JMC knocks T-Dog to the crowd and continues to barrage him with punch after punch. At last the match’s official, Tommy Tolbert, pulls JMC off and warns him to stop under threat of disqualification.
Scott: JMC certainly looks to be asserting dominance so far. He caught T-Dog completely off guard there.
Ted: T-Dog’s own fault for believing Cassius would do anything completely fairly.
As T-Dog tries to stumble back to his feet, JMC taunts to the crowd, laughing at the menagie of booes that flock down to greet him. T-Dog finally rights himself and is rewarded with a kick to the stomach. JMC raises his arm again, steps back, and kicks T-Dog square in the chin with a vicious superkick, knocking him out cold. Cassius falls on T-Dog and covers him, getting a one, two, thr- before lifting himself off of T-Dog, garnering fits of rage from the crowd.
Scott: JMC had this one won! What the hell?
Ted: Assertion of dominance Scott, I have a feeling T-Dog’s in for a rough match.
JMC cackles and pulls T-Dog to his feet, hooks his arm around his opposition’s neck, and planting him with a firm DDT. T-Dog crumples to the mat lifelessly and JMC’s grin widens as he sits on the mat next to his fallen opponent. T-Dog lies there without moving and JMC smirks and turns over T-Dog’s body to cover him, but stops just short of lying on top of him. He stands up and shouts “dominance!” at the top of his lungs and grips T-Dog’s legs.
Scott: Why won’t JMC just end this match already, enough is enough!
JMC wraps his leg through T-Dog’s and flips him over, locking him in The Cassius Sharpshooter! T-Dog lets out several loud, pained moans before collapsing on the mat. Tolbert runs over to check to see if T-Dog can still compete, and lifts his hand. It drops to the mat once, then twice, then three times. Tolbert pushes JMC off and calls for the bell.
Chet: Here is your winner by submission, JMC!
Scott: What a sick match we just saw JMC wrestle.
Ted: T-Dog was nowhere near ready to compete, but JMC’s actions are still hardly excusable.
Scott: Nonetheless, he certainly proved what he set out to. He showed off his dominance alright.
Ted: Ugh.
We cut backstage to see Michael Hayden packing to leave the event. When all of sudden Phill Bennett runs in a floors Hayden with a chair. He stands over him
Phill: You and Me, Damnation. NO DQ. I await your response. Partner.
We return to the ring for the main event.
Seven Deadly Sins V - Pride
The Judge vs. SiNN
Scott: The title says it all in this one.
Ted: What are you talking about?
Scott: I’m talking about Pride.
Ted: What - the evil homunculus from Fullmetal Alchemist? The Japanese MMA company? The British Lifestyle Magazine? A family group of lions?
Scott: Wow, look! Ted just discovered Wikipedia!
Ted: Yeah, and I’m just so pleased with myself. This’ll make all my writing assignments much easier. Can’t believe anyone didn’t think of it first.
Scott: Careful, Ted, because Pride comes before a fall and that’s not what Judge wants to happen tonight.
Ted: Effortless link, Scott. You’re still the master.
Scott: Well, thank you, Ted, but let’s talk about this match - Judge was…..and there’s no other word for it……….screwed last week in his matches in this series. He fell victim to Gluttony and Lust because Jeffrey O’Donnell made it impossible for him to win and now he has to show Pride in himself and win this week to keep the possibility of overall victory alive.
Ted: Yes, but his opponent and one time friend, SiNN has to show enough Pride in himself to compete fairly against the Judge otherwise he and his good friends, The One, 2, Jesse Long and Kayne Risen will be sacked from the company.
Scott: I’m not sure what role European Employment Law has to play here, but it’ll be interesting to see how this one plays out. Here’s Chet!
Chet: This match is the next in the Seven Deadly Sins and is to determine the PRIDE of EWE. It is between, weighing in at 219lbs and hailing from Los Angeles, California he is The Juuuuudge!!
Crowd Support - The Judge 29/250
Judge emerges to an adequate crowd buzz but still looks to be sore and carrying a few bruises from last week’s efforts in the Gluttony and Lust matches. He shows a slight limp on his way down and into the ring.
Chet: His opponent, weighing in at 240lbs and hailing from Stuttgart, Germany, he is SiNN!!!!!!!
Crowd Support - SiNN 0/250
SiNN’s arrival, in contrast to last week’s run-in is greeted with almost total indifference, the sound of Ted’s stomach growling being the loudest noise on his way to the ring. SiNN clambers in and shows his hands and arms to referee Todd Franklin to check for the presence of any foreign objects. There being none, Franklin calls for the bell.
Ding Ding
Both men stand in their respective corners, looking as though they wish they would rather be starting their Christmas shopping. Franklin gestures for them to touch hands if they wish and to start wrestling but neither man seems to want to make a move. The big screen flickers into life showing Jeffrey O’Donnell in his office. He leans forward and presses an intercom button. ‘Susan, get me Kayne Risen please’ he says before the screen switches off again.
Scott: Susan? Who the hell is Susan? O’Donnell doesn’t have a secretary does he?
Ted: I think she had to be let go in the latest round of budget cuts - it was either her or Jeffrey’s Thai lady-boy personal masseur.
SiNN and Judge seem resigned to their fate and once again, Franklin calls for them to start the fight. SiNN offers a raised hand which Judge grasps, the releases. He offers the other hand and SiNN grasps this instead. Judge takes him down with an arm drag and bounces straight back to his feet.
Scott: Cautious start by both men.
Ted: Cautious? They’re as cautious as a virgin with a chastity belt with a broken lock.
SiNN nods at Judge and they lock up with hands on each other’s heads. SiNN switches and brings Judge down with a head chancery keeping the hold as they go to the mat. He tightens the grip and snarls at Todd Franklin to ask Judge if he wishes to submit.
Scott: That’ll never work. Judge is made of sterner stuff.
Ted: Oh, I don’t know. This match is slow to start but it may be quick to finish.
Judge uses his strength to force his way to his feet then uses his strength to lift SiNN onto the ropes. SiNN bounces his legs off the top rope, goes back over Judge’s head, lands on his feet, then hits Judge in the back with a dropkick. Judge goes into the ropes and rebounds. SiNN rolls him up in a schoolboy but Judge kicks out easily and gets to his feet his frown now showing a touch of anger. He chops SiNN hard in the chest as he gets to his feet then, when SiNN does not respond, repeats the process. SiNNN pushes him against the ropes and attempts a Clothesline on the rebound but Judge ducks this and drops SiNN with a neck breaker.
They both glower at each other as they rise again.
Scott: I think both men are rediscovering their pride - they both want to show that they are worth their place in an EWE ring and if that means violence towards someone they respect, then so be it.
SiNN rushes Judge but walks into a Back Body Drop. SiNN gets straight back up but is hip tossed as he comes back at Judge. Still Judge seems reluctant to attack SiNN as he lies on the mat and the heavier wrestler gets back to his feet. Again he comes at Judge but this time avoids the Clothesline and grasps Judge round the waist then floors him with a German Suplex. The ring shudders but SiNN maintains the hold and drops Judge a second time, this time releasing so that Judge bounces away across the ring mat. He follows up with a Leg Drop and keeps the leg in place for a cover.
1.……………….2...Judge gets his shoulder up comfortably. Sinn gets up the cover and goes into a hands on knees stance before beckoning Judge to rise. Judge rises and takes a step towards SiNN but is felled with a Spinebuster.
Scott: ……warming up now.
SiNN throws some lefts and rights then tries to twist Judge into a XXXXX but Judge grabs a rope and Todd Franklin calls for release. They get to their feet and lock up again before Judge takes SiNN down with a Russian Leg Sweep. SiNN gets in a back elbow before Judge can capitalise then lifts him with a wrist lock and whips him to the turnbuckle, following through with a knee to the abdomen. Judge buckles but is brought upright again by a forearm uppercut. SiNN thrusts his shoulder in twice then lifts him for a flapjack. Judge lands face first and SiNN drops to cover, hooking a leg as he does so.
Franklin spots Judge’s leg is just under the bottom rope and points this out to SiNN who releases immediately.
Scott: SiNN might want to win this but he wants to win it straight.
Ted: Why? What have you heard? Does Scott bat for both sides?
Scott: Luckily our American viewers will not understand that reference and let’s hope SiNN’s lawyers don’t either.
SiNN lifts Judge and goes for The End (Sit Out Samoan Driver) He covers.
1.…………………..2.……………..Thr………………No!!!!
Judge just gets a shoulder up as Franklin’s hand stalls millimetres from the mat. SiNN’s eyes bulge as Judge throws him off with an elbow from below. He land two more elbows as he rises and SiNN staggers back against the ropes. Judge grabs him round the waist as he rebounds and throws him in a Belly to Belly Suplex then slaps on The Fade to Black Dragon Sleeper.
Scott: Wow! Judge will not die! He’s a cert for the lead in the next Halloween remake.
SiNN’s face turns blue as Todd Franklin asks if he wishes to submit. Sinn wags a finger to say no but his hand soon drops and Franklin quickly lifts his arm once……………….twice………………a third time and it drops on each occasion. Franklin motions for the bell to ring then frantically pulls at Judge’s arm to get him to release the hold.
Ding Ding
Scott: That’s it! That’s it! SiNN’s pride would not allow him to submit even though he was trapped in that Fade to Black.
Chet: Your winner and now 3-2 ahead in the Seven Deadly Sins Challenge - The Judge!!!!!!!
Ted: But did SiNN do enough to keep his…..and his friends’ jobs? We’ll need to hear from Jeffrey O’Donnell but that’ll have to wait because our time is up. Judge lives to fight again next week when we will hear which sin he has to atone for. This has been another great week for EWE but not such a great week for SiNN or our former IronMan champion, The Jokester. I’ve been Ted Peterson.
Scott: And I’ve been Scott Bundy. Pleasant dreams.
The One: So, everyone is here, you think it’s a possibility? I mean, I guess you could still be the leader if you really want it to, old friend.
SiNN: That’s for another time and another place, but let me ask you… why are you against The Judge so much.
The One: Because for everything that is great about him, he still doesn’t get it. For everything that makes him valiant, there is something that makes weak. He once tried to lead me out of the darkness of ego, I am now returning the favor. So if you don’t beat him, I will.
Suddenly, Kayne Risen and Jesse Long walk up.
Long: If this isn’t a moment in time, the boys all in the same room. Too bad next time I’ll be seeing you Onesy is when I take your tag team titles.
Risen looks at One and grins.
Kayne: shouldn’t you be retiring?
One: You understand you use to be my mentor?
Long: Don’t listen to him, he’s probably plotting his next turn. Is 2 the next man you turn on? I guess we’ll just have to watch and find out….
Long and Kayne walk away.

Iron man Championship
2 vs. The Jokester
Scott: Welcome to EWE Awakening 10! Everyone, this is a big night for us all, and we are celebrating this tenth show with a huge card, First, we have 2 squaring off against The Jokester in one on one competition for the Ironman Championship.
Ted: This should be interesting to see, I’m looking forward to this one!
Scott: Both Jokester and 2 had their digs at each other in their promos but it all comes down to this.
Ted: I think that going into this match both men are pretty even and it should be one hell of a match.
The Jokester 15/250 Crowd Support
"I Am The Walrus" by The Beatles hits as The Jokester appears on the stage and gets a pop as he walks down to the ring rubbing the Iornman Championship that is slung over his shoulder. Jokester approaches the ring and slides in, as he stands up he hands the title to referee Martin Rizzo.
2 46/250 Crowd Support
"Walking through barbed wire" by Papa Roach hits as 2 comes out onto the stage. The crowd cheer as 2 looks around the arena at them and walks slowly down the ramp. 2 gets to the bottom of the ramp and walks up the ring steps then enters the ring between the top and second ropes. 2 then glares at Jokester and stands waiting for the bell to ring.
2 and Jokester stare each other down as they stand across the ring from each other. 2 then steps towards Jokester, Jokester notices and walks towards 2. The pair meet in the middle of the ring and 2 slaps Jokester across the cheek. Jokester reels back for a moment before returning the favour. Jokester and 2 shoot each other a look before locking up in a collar and elbow tie up and jostling for the advantage. After a moment or two, Jokester comes out on top shoving 2 down to the mat due to his height and weight advantage. With 2 down, Jokester mocks him with a muscle flex taunt and laughing. 2 gets back to his feet and runs towards Jokester. Jokester immediately counters 2 with a drop toe hold and he quickly follows up with an elbow drop to the back.
Scott: Looks like Jokester has the early advantage with his size and power Teddy.
Ted: It’s Ted, not Teddy. And it does indeed look like this match would favour the bigger man at this point.
2 is lying flat on his stomach, grasping at his back, as Jokester leans over him and grabs 2’s feet, before rolling him over. 2, now on his back, looks to be in a world of trouble as Jokester waves at the referee and points into the crowd. The ref looks into the crowd, wondering what Jokester is motioning to, and with the ref distracted, Jokester quickly grabs 2’s ankles and splits hiss legs, before droppings a knee to the groin! The crowd immediately show their displeasure. 2 is now writhing in pain and Jokester smiles at the referee as he turns back around. Jokester looks down at 2 and smirks as he then begins to stomp on 2’s legs.
Scott: A veteran move there from Jokester!
Ted: Veteran? I would say sneaky!
Scott: Whatever you call it, you gotta admit, it’s smart wrestling.
With Jokester now stomping away on 2, 2 looks to be in trouble. That is, until Jokester begins moving around to 2’s body and stomping away at his chest. 2 somehow manages to compose himself long enough to grab Jokesters foot and push away on it, causing Jokester to stumble away long enough for 2 to get to his feet. 2 immediately runs towards Jokester, hitting him with a fast lariat that drops the stumbling comedian. With Jokester down, 2 delivers a big knee drop to Jokesters gut, but he doesn’t get up, instead, 2 goes for a sneaky pin hoping to catch Jokester unaware.
One...
Two...
Jokester kicks out on two, and 2 gets to his knees and carries on the punishment by punching Jokester in the ribs and gut. Jokester struggles into a sitting position and grabs 2’s forehead, before nailing a head butt to 2, enabling him to get some breathing room when 2 falls backwards. Jokester quickly gets to his feet as 2 does the same. Jokester charges towards 2 and 2 simply nails a beautiful standing dropkick, right in Jokester’s face. Jokester slumps to the canvas as 2 lands on his back. However, 2 gets straight back to his feet and quickly bends down, grabbing Jokester’s feet and dragging him away from the ropes. 2 then transitions into a camel clutch and. 2 is now in firm control of this match as he wrenches away on Jokesters chin. Jokester appears to be in great pain, but he still struggles against 2, grasping at his hands. Jokester changes his strategy and manages to grab 2’s legs. He manages to knock 2 slightly off balance and Jokester shows great strength as he stands up with 2 on his back! With 2 on his back, Jokester quickly drops to canvas, squashing 2 between the canvas and his own ample frame but 2 shows great tenacity and manages to turn the camel clutch into a sleeper hold, thus keeping the pressure on Jokester.
Jokester is now in serious trouble is in the middle of the ring. He slowly gets up to his knees and begins rocking to the left and right, hoping to gather momentum. Jokester then manages to get enough momentum from rolling to roll onto his hands and knees, and 2’s grip loosens enough for him to lowly manages to make it to his feet, though with 2 still holding onto the sleeper, much like a pit bull. Jokester reaches back and grabs the head of 2 and quickly throws him over his shoulder. 2 lands on the mat with a thud as Jokester slumps down to the mat, leaving both men down.
Scott: Wow, some great action here folks!
Ted: I’ve gotta admit, this has been some back and forth stuff here with both men showing some great ring sense.
Scott: I honestly don’t know what’s going to happen next.
Ted: We have seen some classic wrestling and some unorthodox wrestling, this has been a pretty unusual match here.
2 gets back to his feet and walks towards Jokester. 2 leans down to grab Jokester and as he does, 2 is grabbed and rolled up by Jokester.
One...
Two...
2 barely kicks out in time as Jokester grabs a sly two count. 2 quickly rolls up to his feet as Jokester gets to his knees. He signals with his thumb and index finger that he was ‘that close’ to pinning 2 right there. 2 backs away from Jokester, 2 and stops. He looks down at Jokester, who is still on his knees, taunting him. 2 smirks and slaps his knee, signalling to the crowd his is going for the shining wizard! Jokester realises what is coming and ducks underneath 2’s knee. 2 stops and quickly turns around, realising he missed Jokester. As 2 turns to face Jokester, Jokester grabs 2’s ankles and pulls his legs out from under him. 2 lands on his back while Jokester quickly stands up walks towards 2, who is just now getting to his feet. Jokester waits for 2 to get his feet, and grabs 2’s head and arm. Jokester immediately whips him into the corner, and then runs at 2, as he is slumped in the corner. Jokester jumps to the second rope from the floor and begins hitting hard right hands, straight into the head of 2, as the crowd count along
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
FIVE!
SIX!
As Jokesters arm comes down for the seventh punch, 2 blocks it and places his arms under Jokesters legs. 2 stands up straight and lifts Jokester into a powerbomb position! 2 stumbles out of the corner with Jokester on his shoulders and slams him down with a sickening thud as both men fall to the floor. 2 still has his wits about him, despite the fact that Jokester has just been pounding his head with right hands and drapes his arm across Jokesters chest as the referee slides down into position for the count.
One...
Two...
Thr...
Jokester just manages to roll his shoulder up on two and a half and 2 slaps the mat in frustration. 2 gets to his feet and grabs Jokesters head, dragging him up to his feet. However, it appears Jokester is playing possum, as Jokester is dragged up to his feet, he breaks 2’s grip and kicks 2 in the gut, doubling him over. Jokester quickly grabs his head and shoves it between his legs, obviously setting up for a powerbomb. Jokester then lifts 2, holds him on his shoulders for a second and slams him down with a huge powerbomb. Jokester gets back to his feet and taunts 2, inciting the crowd. Jokester signals for another powerbomb, Jokester grabs 2’s head and drags him to his feet. Jokester forces his head down and lifts 2 into the air but 2 jumps off of Jokesters shoulders, most likely on instinct, and lands behind him. 2 immediately hits the 2Die4! With Jokester flat out, 2 slumps down and lands across Jokester’s chest. Referee Martin Rizzo slides into position and counts...
One...
Two...
Three!
Chet Patterson: Here is your winner, and NNNNNNNNEEEEEEEWWWWWW IORNMAN CHAMPION 2!
Ted: What a great match there folks!
Scott: And what a win for 2. Ya know, I seriously expected Jokester to win. I think this might have to go down as an upset.
Ted: I think this now means that 2 is the first double champion that EWE has had since this great company was founded!
Scott: This isn’t going to sit well with Jokester.
Ted: The One and 2 will be hitting the bars tonight I think! A big win for 2 and a great match for all of us here live, and at home to watch.
The camera switches to The Judge sitting alone in his locker room. He stands up and walks out. He walks through the hallways, and every star he sees gives him a dirty look. He walk over to the grab a cup of coffee, and then heads back to the locker room. He enters the room and looks shocked.
???: We need to talk.

...And We're Back!
Attraction Match
Purse: 350 Euros
Trent James vs. Omar Gibson
Scott: Well that certainly looks like a great card WPW has in store, we will be sure to check that out! Moving right along, we have two men already in the ring ready to fight. OBG is one week removed from a heartbreaking loss at the hands of JMC, now he must rebound against Trent James.
Ted: Trent James though is on the cusp of greatness, hoping and praying for The Judge to fail one more Sin. Then he would move on to the biggest match of his career.
Scott: Very true, but don't forget Omar Gibson's match at the PPV either, he could be facing the end of his career in EWE if he doesn't defeat T-Dog.
OBG and Trent start in the middle of the ring and Trent starts things off with a punch right to OBG’s face. OBG however is able to smile at this and punch Trent James Twice in response, sending him to the ground but scurrying back up fast. Trent then tackles OBG and takes him down They suffle for a while before the referee pulls them up and tells them to lockup properly.
Eventually they do so and OBG gets the dominance with an armbar that throws Trent James from the ring. Omar laughs and moves closer to him but Trent pulls his legs out from under him. Trent then climbs into the ring and drops several well placed elbows onto his head and goes for a pinfall.. that earns a 1 count.
Scott: He has to do more than that to beat Omar, he is a former World Champion after all.
Ted: Don't be stupid Trent, it could cost you.
Trent hoists Omar to his feet and dives at him with a Sleep Walking Kick, but OBG catches it and holds on to apply an Ankle Lock to his opponent. Trent is caught massively by surprise and immediately tries to make it to the ropes by throwing his body at it, but it gives Omar enough time to move further into the Ring! Trent wails in pain and Omar moves his ankle further and further the wrong way. Eventually Trent gets close enough to the ropes to reach, but is pulled back by OBG. Trent flips over and successfully kicks OBG off him. OBG runs back at him but is met with Trents two feet and monkey flipped upside down into the Ropes where her lands rather awkwardly.
Trent hoists up OBG while favoring his leg. OBG delivers a lariat to Trent which knocks him down. OBG then holds his head for a few seconds and groggily make shis way up the ring apron. OBG moves to make his Black Star Splash on Trent when James shakes the ropes. Making OBG lose his footing and fall onto the top Rope. Trent then delivers a nasty looking Sensation from Below from the top Rope for the pinfall victory
Winner at 10:23. TRENT JAMES
Scott: Well there you have it, Trent James breaks his losing streak while Omar Gibson's continues. Omar needs to find his magic soon, or he could face the unemployment line. Oh wait... what's this...
“Don’t Forget the Rules” begins to play as the crowd rises to a considerable amount of booing. Eventually, after several seconds, A pyrotechnic goes off and the Music dies down to reveal The standing sillouhette of James Moriarty Cassius, his arms out to the side and the EWE Title belt.
Scott: I wondered how long this would take. It’s JMC, our brand new World Champion.
Ted: Correct, He’s coming off a victory from our Former Champion OBG. Who later has to defend his chance at a rematch against Trent James.
JMC has now made it down to the ring, and has places himself in the middle of the ring, pointing to his EWE title and then bowing. Eventually from within his jacket he pulls a microphone. Omar and Trent walk to the back, looking very closely at the Champion as his face is on the big screen.
JMC: Europe. You are Welcome.
You are welcome for I have done this for you, for your pride and for mine as well. I have become the EWE Champion not for personal glory, but for the pure fact that no one else can. Can you honestly say that there is another more deserving than me?
No, you cannot.
I am sometimes saddened to see that you cannot comprehend this. I am irritated that you would cheer the name of The Judge at my first gracing of your presence as The Prince of EWE. It hurts me so deeply. But I am not here to talk about my pain, but to show you what the Era of Cassius will show. I have Three Golden Rules that will lay the foundation of EWE
1) Assert Thy Dominance
2) Respect The Land
3) Do not aim for that which is too far above you
These rules are going to replace the seven deadly sins. These rules will outlast The Judge’s little vain attempt at becoming an interesting person. These rules will be proven over these few weeks Starting with the sad life of T-Dog coming to an end in Europe. Next week, you wills ee the effects of punishment on another rulebreaker. And then before the Pay Per View, Before I defend my title religiously at the great altar of Wrestling. You will see the Third Rule.
Scott: Respect The Land? Is that an environmental warning?
Ted: I think it has more to Do with Respecting Europe. JMC does harp on about the place.
JMC: This is to the Rest of EWE, I follow these rules. I understand what they will mean for the Future of EWE. If you wish to challenge them, be my guest. If you wish to lose, I ask you to challenge them.
He looks down at the Camera and smiles his arrogant smirk.
I beg you.

Introducing EWE Classes
At Level 70 of your European Crowd Support you will be able to select what type of wrestler you are. You will have a choice of 4, that will effect the money you make and/or the crowd support you will receive each week. This ranking Class will replace your current standard contract and it will change the color of your name in all previews and junctions to represent your class. Let me know introduce the new classes. Remember these are just brief descriptions, all the stats and moneys per each character will be in a separate thread.
All Arounder Class
This is the class closest to your current contract, you will still receive the same amount of money per shows and the same crowd support. This will allow to progress in money and crowd support at a good even pace and there is no major penalty for losing of no showing. This class will be the automatic class for those who do select classes. Boring, but effective.
The High Flyer Class
High Flyer or MoTY candidates should select this class, because they are all about putting on a great show. This ranking gives you a better chance to be noticed world wide when you put on an epic match. it gives you +2 Crowd Support for a Good Match and plus +3 for an epic match. However, if you lay an egg in the ring, you will lose -2 Crowd Support and if you no show you will lose -5 Crowd Support. If you win a PPV match or an Title match with a epic RP battle, you will receive +4 Crowd Support for every crowd support class including world wide! On the downside, High Flyers make less money than all the other classes, getting a measly 10 Euros per appearance, and 50 Euros per regular win.
The Main Player Class
Big name stars should go for this one, because it will make you bigger than Hugo. As a Main Player, you will be much like the all arounder class but with more perks. A Main Event or title appearance as a main player will give you +1 Crowd Support and 100 Euros just for RPing, and if you win a Main Event or title match, you will receive 250 Euros, and crowd support times 2 multiplier for what you have already earned and +2 for your World Wide Crowd Support. The downside of this class, is that if you no show a main event or title match, you will lose -5 crowd support. Even bigger, If you no show a non main event match you will lose -9. It's all about name value here, so if you are a Main Player it's best if you show up. Main Players make the most money of all the classes. 35 Euros per regular appearance and 65 per regular win.
The Veteran Class
This class is all about showing up each week and doing your job, no need to win Main Events or put on Epic RP battles here. If you show up and you wrestle each week you will be rewarded. In this class you will earn +2 crowd support for every match appearance (not counting no shows) and 50 Euros per appearance. If you win the Ironman Championship while having this, all of your stats including money will have a multiplier of 2. So if you earned +4 Crowd Support and 100 Euros in one night as Iron Champion, expect double that. Also if you manage to win a world title, every night you defend the world title, you will have a multiplier of 3 around the world, that means it will count towards Europe, American and World Wide. The downside of this class is that if you no show, you will lose 500 Euros, and 10 Crowd Support. If you no show a PPV, we will double that. The Veteran class make the least for winning but the most for appearance. That make 75 per appearance, and 25 for win
.... And we're back!
We come back from commercial to see The Jokester standing in front of Jeffery O'Donnell
Jokester: Puppet Master, as the only thing keeping this company afloat, I demand that the longest reigning Ironman has a chance to reclaim his title once again. Be it against, 2, 3 , A , B, Red, Blue, or Green... I am here to make demands, or at very least hint at ideas, until you think you thought of them yourself.
O'Donnell: No worries Jokester, because at Damnation, every former Ironman Champion will have the opportunity to reclaim his title, in a special EWE One Fall Scramble for the Ironman Championship. Until then, get the hell out of my office!
We cut back to the ring.
Scott: Well we are back from commercial, and I must say, JMC might be the first true Championship force here in EWE.
Ted: Speaking of Championship forces, the tag team championships will be defended at Damnation, and we are about to find out against who. First we have Phill Bennett and Michael Hayden, two men who while don’t see eye to eye, have a great opportunity.
Scott: Then there is Jesse Long and Kayne Risen, two men with a long history together who are ready to take on their other old friends in a SiNNdicate reunion at the PPV.
Ted: Well a new rule in EWE is that all tag teams, new or old, must come out together, so let’s get to the introductions.
Hayden/Bennett - 9 Combined Crowd Support.
First comes Michael Hayden and Phill Bennett, by their body movement you can tell that they aren’t friendly, but both seem to have a mission. They enter the ring at roughly the same time, while Bennett jumps up the turnbuckle, Hayden remains listless in the middle of the ring.
Scott: As you can see, no love lost between these two men. Especially Hayden being persistent about not wanting to tag with anyone.
Risen/Long - 28 Combined Crowd Support
Next comes Kayne Risen and Jesse Long, while Risen receives moderate boos Jesse Long is received some very hateful jeers. Jesse Long stops and ask for a mic.
Long: Be for we go any further, it’s time to stand up for the pledge of allegiance.
Kayne puts his hand over his chest, and so does Jesse.
Long: I pledge allegiance to the United States of America, for which it stands… Wait, you Euro trash doesn’t deserve to hear these sacred words… Kayne let’s do this.
Scott: Well that’s the lovely Mr. Long everyone.
Ding Ding
The match starts off with Jesse Long and Phill Bennett, both men exchange blows for a few moments, until Phill Bennett connects with a knee to the chest, after staggering Jesse Long, he connects with a drop kick sending long to the ground. As Phill goes to pick him up, Jesse delivers a low blow, then Jesse rushes to his corner to tag in Risen. Risen being far stronger, picks up Bennett easily and puts him in a headlock, Bennett tries to go for the tag but Hayden doesn’t see it. After a minute of being held bennett shows some sign of weakness. The ref raises his hand but he catches it. Bennett then begins to fight out of the predicament, a elbow to the chest, than another. He finally stuns Risen enough to get out, he then bounces himself off the ropes and heads at Risen for the clothesline, Risen sees him suddenly and both men are met with the same fate, a clothesline across the neck.
Scott: Bennett really needs to get up and get the tag Ted, seems like he’s been in there too long. Especially against these seasoned competitors.
Ted: Most importantly Hayden is the freshes man in the match, getting him in now would be a great move.
Both men start to regain there ability to move, and the both start there crawl to make the hot tags. Kayne Risen seems a bit closer then bennett, so he makes the take to Jesse first, but at the last moment Phill extends and leaps towards Hayward for the tag and… Hayden drops to the apron. Phill looks on stunned for a moment, but suddenly Jesse grabs his lead and thinking quickly he kicks Jesse off of him. He makes it to his feet and sees that he has to go it alone. He then charges Long and spears him. He goes for the pin, but Risen breaks it up. He then picks up Phill Bennett and choke slams him. Risen leaves the ring, and Jesse hit’s the turnbuckle, puts his hand on his chest, and then hit’s the modified frog splash, the Long Shot. He makes the pins.
Chet: Your winners, and new number 1 contenders… Jesse Long and Kayne Risen!
Scott: A valiant effort from Phill Bennett, but his partner screwed him.
Ted: It’s hard out here for a Bennett.
We return to the backstage area.
Cole: Sometimes we got to come to grips with that what is right and wrong, doesn't necessarily mean a damn thing when you got bills to pays. Everything is relative, and a man must feed evil if it helps protect what's good for him. So at Damnation, I got JMC's spot in the Ironman title match. Ain't nothing sayin' I'm going to win, but ain't nothing saying I wont.

Thy 3 Golden Rules
1. “Assert dominance on the lowly Masses”
JMC vs. T-Dog
Scott: Well, in what most of us can only assume is a bit of a prod at The Judge, our champion James Cassius has chosen to get his own gauntlet going.
Ted: Yes, JMC’s three golden rules kick off tonight with a match against the once mighty T-Dog.
Scott: Once mighty indeed. JMC has dubbed this rule “Assert dominance on the lowly masses.”
Ted: Guess it goes to show how our champ feels about T-Dog.
Chet: Ladies and gentlemen this match is scheduled for one fall, is the first of JMC’s three golden rules! Making his way to the ring at 245 lbs, Teeeeeeeee-Dog!
T-Dog - Crowd Support 17/250
T-Dog makes his way onto the stage and raises his hand. His gathers a mixed crowd reaction, smirks, and makes his way to the ring. A little fanfare later, he taunts on the turnbuckle until JMC enters.
Chet: And his opponent, accompanied to the ring by Cole, at 195 lbs, he is the EWE Heavyweight Champion, James Moriarty Cassius!
JMC – Crowd Support 46/250
Cassius emerges with monsterous Cole in tow. The crowd booes the champion heavily as he clutches the belt tightly to his shoulder and grins. He slides into the ring, with Cole close behind and stares T-Dog down. T-Dog starts yelling at JMC and pointing at Cole, prompting JMC to call for a microphone. He grabs it and smiles before addressing the crowd.
“I know, I know T-Dog. You don’t trust me, or Cole in any event. That’s okay, I don’t plan on having Cole be a part of tonight’s match. You see, tonight marks the first of JMC’s three golden rules, and that rule is to assert dominance on the lowly masses. What kind of man would I be if I allowed some other man to show off my strength for me? So T-Dog, Cole will be watching from backstage, you don’t have to worry. About that, at least.”
JMC then promptly drops the mic and begins to assault T-Dog with right hands. Cole slides out of the ring and walks calmly to the back, much to the crowd’s amusement. The bell rings as JMC knocks T-Dog to the crowd and continues to barrage him with punch after punch. At last the match’s official, Tommy Tolbert, pulls JMC off and warns him to stop under threat of disqualification.
Scott: JMC certainly looks to be asserting dominance so far. He caught T-Dog completely off guard there.
Ted: T-Dog’s own fault for believing Cassius would do anything completely fairly.
As T-Dog tries to stumble back to his feet, JMC taunts to the crowd, laughing at the menagie of booes that flock down to greet him. T-Dog finally rights himself and is rewarded with a kick to the stomach. JMC raises his arm again, steps back, and kicks T-Dog square in the chin with a vicious superkick, knocking him out cold. Cassius falls on T-Dog and covers him, getting a one, two, thr- before lifting himself off of T-Dog, garnering fits of rage from the crowd.
Scott: JMC had this one won! What the hell?
Ted: Assertion of dominance Scott, I have a feeling T-Dog’s in for a rough match.
JMC cackles and pulls T-Dog to his feet, hooks his arm around his opposition’s neck, and planting him with a firm DDT. T-Dog crumples to the mat lifelessly and JMC’s grin widens as he sits on the mat next to his fallen opponent. T-Dog lies there without moving and JMC smirks and turns over T-Dog’s body to cover him, but stops just short of lying on top of him. He stands up and shouts “dominance!” at the top of his lungs and grips T-Dog’s legs.
Scott: Why won’t JMC just end this match already, enough is enough!
JMC wraps his leg through T-Dog’s and flips him over, locking him in The Cassius Sharpshooter! T-Dog lets out several loud, pained moans before collapsing on the mat. Tolbert runs over to check to see if T-Dog can still compete, and lifts his hand. It drops to the mat once, then twice, then three times. Tolbert pushes JMC off and calls for the bell.
Chet: Here is your winner by submission, JMC!
Scott: What a sick match we just saw JMC wrestle.
Ted: T-Dog was nowhere near ready to compete, but JMC’s actions are still hardly excusable.
Scott: Nonetheless, he certainly proved what he set out to. He showed off his dominance alright.
Ted: Ugh.
We cut backstage to see Michael Hayden packing to leave the event. When all of sudden Phill Bennett runs in a floors Hayden with a chair. He stands over him
Phill: You and Me, Damnation. NO DQ. I await your response. Partner.
We return to the ring for the main event.
Seven Deadly Sins V - Pride
The Judge vs. SiNN
Scott: The title says it all in this one.
Ted: What are you talking about?
Scott: I’m talking about Pride.
Ted: What - the evil homunculus from Fullmetal Alchemist? The Japanese MMA company? The British Lifestyle Magazine? A family group of lions?
Scott: Wow, look! Ted just discovered Wikipedia!
Ted: Yeah, and I’m just so pleased with myself. This’ll make all my writing assignments much easier. Can’t believe anyone didn’t think of it first.
Scott: Careful, Ted, because Pride comes before a fall and that’s not what Judge wants to happen tonight.
Ted: Effortless link, Scott. You’re still the master.
Scott: Well, thank you, Ted, but let’s talk about this match - Judge was…..and there’s no other word for it……….screwed last week in his matches in this series. He fell victim to Gluttony and Lust because Jeffrey O’Donnell made it impossible for him to win and now he has to show Pride in himself and win this week to keep the possibility of overall victory alive.
Ted: Yes, but his opponent and one time friend, SiNN has to show enough Pride in himself to compete fairly against the Judge otherwise he and his good friends, The One, 2, Jesse Long and Kayne Risen will be sacked from the company.
Scott: I’m not sure what role European Employment Law has to play here, but it’ll be interesting to see how this one plays out. Here’s Chet!
Chet: This match is the next in the Seven Deadly Sins and is to determine the PRIDE of EWE. It is between, weighing in at 219lbs and hailing from Los Angeles, California he is The Juuuuudge!!
Crowd Support - The Judge 29/250
Judge emerges to an adequate crowd buzz but still looks to be sore and carrying a few bruises from last week’s efforts in the Gluttony and Lust matches. He shows a slight limp on his way down and into the ring.
Chet: His opponent, weighing in at 240lbs and hailing from Stuttgart, Germany, he is SiNN!!!!!!!
Crowd Support - SiNN 0/250
SiNN’s arrival, in contrast to last week’s run-in is greeted with almost total indifference, the sound of Ted’s stomach growling being the loudest noise on his way to the ring. SiNN clambers in and shows his hands and arms to referee Todd Franklin to check for the presence of any foreign objects. There being none, Franklin calls for the bell.
Ding Ding
Both men stand in their respective corners, looking as though they wish they would rather be starting their Christmas shopping. Franklin gestures for them to touch hands if they wish and to start wrestling but neither man seems to want to make a move. The big screen flickers into life showing Jeffrey O’Donnell in his office. He leans forward and presses an intercom button. ‘Susan, get me Kayne Risen please’ he says before the screen switches off again.
Scott: Susan? Who the hell is Susan? O’Donnell doesn’t have a secretary does he?
Ted: I think she had to be let go in the latest round of budget cuts - it was either her or Jeffrey’s Thai lady-boy personal masseur.
SiNN and Judge seem resigned to their fate and once again, Franklin calls for them to start the fight. SiNN offers a raised hand which Judge grasps, the releases. He offers the other hand and SiNN grasps this instead. Judge takes him down with an arm drag and bounces straight back to his feet.
Scott: Cautious start by both men.
Ted: Cautious? They’re as cautious as a virgin with a chastity belt with a broken lock.
SiNN nods at Judge and they lock up with hands on each other’s heads. SiNN switches and brings Judge down with a head chancery keeping the hold as they go to the mat. He tightens the grip and snarls at Todd Franklin to ask Judge if he wishes to submit.
Scott: That’ll never work. Judge is made of sterner stuff.
Ted: Oh, I don’t know. This match is slow to start but it may be quick to finish.
Judge uses his strength to force his way to his feet then uses his strength to lift SiNN onto the ropes. SiNN bounces his legs off the top rope, goes back over Judge’s head, lands on his feet, then hits Judge in the back with a dropkick. Judge goes into the ropes and rebounds. SiNN rolls him up in a schoolboy but Judge kicks out easily and gets to his feet his frown now showing a touch of anger. He chops SiNN hard in the chest as he gets to his feet then, when SiNN does not respond, repeats the process. SiNNN pushes him against the ropes and attempts a Clothesline on the rebound but Judge ducks this and drops SiNN with a neck breaker.
They both glower at each other as they rise again.
Scott: I think both men are rediscovering their pride - they both want to show that they are worth their place in an EWE ring and if that means violence towards someone they respect, then so be it.
SiNN rushes Judge but walks into a Back Body Drop. SiNN gets straight back up but is hip tossed as he comes back at Judge. Still Judge seems reluctant to attack SiNN as he lies on the mat and the heavier wrestler gets back to his feet. Again he comes at Judge but this time avoids the Clothesline and grasps Judge round the waist then floors him with a German Suplex. The ring shudders but SiNN maintains the hold and drops Judge a second time, this time releasing so that Judge bounces away across the ring mat. He follows up with a Leg Drop and keeps the leg in place for a cover.
1.……………….2...Judge gets his shoulder up comfortably. Sinn gets up the cover and goes into a hands on knees stance before beckoning Judge to rise. Judge rises and takes a step towards SiNN but is felled with a Spinebuster.
Scott: ……warming up now.
SiNN throws some lefts and rights then tries to twist Judge into a XXXXX but Judge grabs a rope and Todd Franklin calls for release. They get to their feet and lock up again before Judge takes SiNN down with a Russian Leg Sweep. SiNN gets in a back elbow before Judge can capitalise then lifts him with a wrist lock and whips him to the turnbuckle, following through with a knee to the abdomen. Judge buckles but is brought upright again by a forearm uppercut. SiNN thrusts his shoulder in twice then lifts him for a flapjack. Judge lands face first and SiNN drops to cover, hooking a leg as he does so.
Franklin spots Judge’s leg is just under the bottom rope and points this out to SiNN who releases immediately.
Scott: SiNN might want to win this but he wants to win it straight.
Ted: Why? What have you heard? Does Scott bat for both sides?
Scott: Luckily our American viewers will not understand that reference and let’s hope SiNN’s lawyers don’t either.
SiNN lifts Judge and goes for The End (Sit Out Samoan Driver) He covers.
1.…………………..2.……………..Thr………………No!!!!
Judge just gets a shoulder up as Franklin’s hand stalls millimetres from the mat. SiNN’s eyes bulge as Judge throws him off with an elbow from below. He land two more elbows as he rises and SiNN staggers back against the ropes. Judge grabs him round the waist as he rebounds and throws him in a Belly to Belly Suplex then slaps on The Fade to Black Dragon Sleeper.
Scott: Wow! Judge will not die! He’s a cert for the lead in the next Halloween remake.
SiNN’s face turns blue as Todd Franklin asks if he wishes to submit. Sinn wags a finger to say no but his hand soon drops and Franklin quickly lifts his arm once……………….twice………………a third time and it drops on each occasion. Franklin motions for the bell to ring then frantically pulls at Judge’s arm to get him to release the hold.
Ding Ding
Scott: That’s it! That’s it! SiNN’s pride would not allow him to submit even though he was trapped in that Fade to Black.
Chet: Your winner and now 3-2 ahead in the Seven Deadly Sins Challenge - The Judge!!!!!!!
Ted: But did SiNN do enough to keep his…..and his friends’ jobs? We’ll need to hear from Jeffrey O’Donnell but that’ll have to wait because our time is up. Judge lives to fight again next week when we will hear which sin he has to atone for. This has been another great week for EWE but not such a great week for SiNN or our former IronMan champion, The Jokester. I’ve been Ted Peterson.
Scott: And I’ve been Scott Bundy. Pleasant dreams.
