Blitz (26 March 2002)

Scene fades in. Several clips of a variety of E.W.A. wrestlers come into view. Down With The Sickness by Disturbed begins to play, and in each clip the two wrestlers that are visible at a time pace back and forth in front of each other before their matches. As the music reaches it's climax one of the visible wrestlers charges forward and tackles his opponent. The music kicks to high gear and the video montage of EWA wrestlers taking bumps, spearing each other, etc. plays in time with the beat. The music reaches another climatic hit, at which point the word Blitz, which appears to be made of stone falls from the top of the screen, followed by Night and then Tuesday, all falling on top of each other. Bill Altieri's voiceover begins.

The crowd chant along with the chorus and final erupt into cheers as the EWA president, Mr Flaws appears on the rampway under the Psychotron, dressed still in his street clothes. He opens his coat to reveal a black t-shirt with large red print on the front..EWA. He removes his coat and turns around, showing the reverse of the shirt, which reads .COM

Prez "It's been a long journey back folks, back fromthe mess Bullinger left my company in. But we survived the test of time, and here we are again, back where we belong, back in the Bateman Centre and back here...........IN MANHATTAN! (cheap pop) Let me hand you back to Bill and Mr D folks and I see you all later.....enjoy the show"

( The lights dim as the Psychotron and P.A. blast into affect to Rick the Bricks entrance music and theme. A huge man walks out from under the Psychotron and strides down to the arena. He pulls himself up onto the apron and steps over the top rope with ease. Brick looks around the arena showing no discomfort from this being the first time in the ring. Brick walks to the center of the canvass and turns toward the Psychotron awaiting the his first opponent.

The wait is short-lived as the Bee Gees interrupt Brick's music over the P.A. system. A small muscular man darts out from under the Psychotron and sprints toward the ring diving under the top rope and rushing Rick the Brick. Brick shoots out a long bulging bicep and delivers a powerful clothesline to El Spastico spinning him almost full circle in the air before El Spastico hits the canvass face first. Brick turns around to the downed Spastico and walks over to his limp body. Brick whips the luchadore into the announcer side ropes as the fans rise and turn towards the stage area. The Bridge follows Spastico in suit and sprints down to the ring and inside in the same manner, meanwhile, Rick the Brick delivers a devastating Big Boot to El Spastico planting him on the mat once again. The Bridge runs at The Brick, who has his back turned, and delivers a double axe handle to the back of Brick's head. Brick's momentum shoots him forward to the announcers side ropes and between the second and third ropes onto the floor.)

( On Queue from Alltieri the ex federal officer known as The Corrupter bursts out from behind the stage curtain and the Psychotron and Bateman Center play The Corrupter's entrance theme. As The Corrupter struts, calmly down to the ring, the camera pans back to the action where The Bridge has picked up Rick the Brick's place and is stomping the seemingly unconscious El Spastico, who's still lying face down onto the mat. Corruptor enters into the ring as The Bridge turns to face him. They brawl throwing punch after punch in the center of the ring. The Brick still laying outside.)

( The Bridge gains an advantage in the brawl as he turns his hip and lands a knee into the mid-section of The Corruptor. Corruptor buckles over in pain and The Bridge takes advantage landing a forearm across The Corruptor's back sending him into the mat. The Bridge follows up with some stomping to the back of The Corruptor while holding onto the top rope. El Spastico show's some signs of life as he crawls over to a near corner and slowly pulls himself into a sitting position leaning against the bottom turnbuckle. The Bridge pick's up Corruptor buy the hair and shoulders him into the ropes and whips him across the ring to the other side. The Bridge positions himself to deliver a back body drop but El Spastico lights out from the corner to The Bridge and deliver a Bulldog driving the Bridge's face into the mat. Simultaneously, Rick the Brick, on the outside, grabs the foot of The Corruptor as he rebounds from the Irish whip, tripping the Corrupter causing his face to bounce of the mat. El Spastico quickly turns The Bridge over and goes for the pin.)

( Rick the Brick makes his way into the ring picking up The Corruptor buy the hair and landing some punches to the head. The Bridge jumps up off the canvass and runs over to El Spastico surprising him as he gets up. The Bridge pummels El Spastico with some huge forearms shots to the head reeling El Spastico into the corner. The Brick, still beating on the Corruptor, positions his victim in the center of the ring and performs a Scoop Body Slam in the middle of the ring. On the impact of the Corruptor's body the Brick shoots toward the near side ropes, bounces, off and jumps into the air and lands a big Leg Drop across the chest of The Corruptor. In the corner, The Bridge finishes his onslaught of brawling maneuvers and pulls El Spastico out of the corner shoving Spastico's head between his legs and pulling him up into position for a jack-knife powerbomb.)

( The Bridge hoists Spastico onto his shoulders and takes a step toward the ropes to jack-knife El Spastico out for the elimination throw, but Spastico clamps his legs down onto the head of The Bridge as he throws his head and arms backwards grabbing the second rope from the outside and Hurricanranna's The Bridge to the outside onto the floor.)

( The Bridge, getting to his feet, looks up at El Spastico who has turned his attention to the two men in the ring, show's disgust on his face and makes his way over to the announcers area. The Bridge throws the time keeper off his chair and folds the steel weapon up and walks toward El Spastico's location. The two outside referee's, Max White and George Moran, quickly cut off The Bridge from his target stealing the chair and motioning The Bridge to make his way to the back.)

( Rick the Brick in frustration from what he believes to be a slow 3 count points a finger in the face of Referee Fortune. Brick focuses his attention back to Corruptor and plants a couple quick punches to the face before grabbing him buy the hair and raising him to his feet. El Spastico perches himself on top of the 3rd turn buckle and waits for his opportunity. Both men in the ring now up on their feet catch Spastico out of the corner of their eye and turn in his direction as Spastico leaps into the air and lands a Flying Cross Body block on both men.)

( El Spastico roles off both men and kicks his feet into the air and springs to a vertical base. The Corruptor slowly rolls over towards a corner in definite pain from the beating he's had thus far. Rick the Brick slowly makes his way to his feet and stumbles back into the ropes. El Spastico mounts the second rope of a near side corner and arrogantly faces the crowd pounding on his chest trying to work the crowd into a frenzy. The fans do so with cheerful replies. The Brick, seeing his advantage, sprints towards Spastico and lands a forearm into his back. Spastico goes over the turnbuckles but manages to avoid the floor and lands on the apron grabbing the bottom rope for security. The Corruptor has managed to gather himself and stands at the other side of the ring. While The Brick's back is to him, The Corruptor runs towards him and uses his body to smash The Brick in the corner. The Corruptor turns Brick around and lands some chops to The Brick's large chest.

Brick slides The Corruptors inside arm over his head and grabs the trunks showing the crowed his intention at his impending maneuver. The crowd erupts in the arena as Rick looks out at the screaming fans. Rick hoists The Corruptors legs into the air and performs his patented jackhammer finishing maneuver known as The Pancake.

( The Brick unaware that El Spastico had not been eliminated turns his attention towards the fans on the announcer's side of The Bateman Center. Raising his arms in apparent victory. Spastico seeing another key opportunity moves into position on the top rope once more. Spastico leaps into the air as Rick the Brick begins to turn and face his direction.

El Spastico bounds into the air going for another cross body block but Rick the Brick catches him in the air. Rick uses his superior strength and hoists El Spastico into the air pressing him over his head. The Brick turns towards the nearest ropes still holding El Spastico over his head, takes a couple of running steps and thrusts El Spastico over the top rope, barricade, and into the second row. Referee Fortune signals to the time keeper, who's back in a chair, and calls for the bell.)

We come back after the commercials to backstage cameras. EWA president, Mr Flaws is standing outside of his office, holding his suit back over his shoulder, talking on his cellphone. A cheer comes up from the fans as "The Prospect" Ethan Hunter strides into view. He reaches for the president's phone, takes it from him and drops it in a nearby trashcan. He huffs up his chest and tucks his thumbs into his waistband, glaring at the president, who looks back at Hunter and chuckles

Prez: You know what Ethan? I could give two squirts of piss what you think. I pay you to perform, plain and simple. You have cut a promo with the crew ONCE Ethan, then you just vanish. You just don't do that in the EWA. Watch the archive tapes and see what happens to idiots who cross me. The likes of Michael Duggaz, who you remind me of (jabs him in the chest with a finger) got his ass fired in more ways than one. You take your lazy ass out to the ring while i put my suit on, I'll have Lockdown with you presently.

B.A.: Welcome back folks. We're getting ready to start our next match of the evening and what a match it will be. Next your gonna see that charismatic EWA superstar Ethan Hunter versus perhaps one of the most hideous men ever to darken the steps of the EWA company, Lockdown.

( The Bateman Center P.A.interrupts the commentators with Alien Ant Farms "Smooth Criminal". Ethan Hunter instantly walks out of the backstage area and down to the ring wearing his trademark wrestling attire. Ethan makes no usual motion to the fans acknowledging their cheers as he makes his way to the squared circle. Once inside the ring Ethan Stands in the middle of the mat starring at the Psychotron. "Smooth Criminal" is quickly smothered out buy the drum beats of Vinnie Paul of Pantera as "Cowboys from Hell" signals the entrance of Lockdown.)

( Lockdown starts down the ramp toward the ring but Ethan Hunter climbs out and runs to meet him on the outside. Ethan instantly begins throwing blow after blow, pounding lockdown onto the unforgiving steel of the ramp. Hunter stomps continuously as Referee Bill Williams frantically tries to get Ethan to let Lockdown enter the ring so he can sound for the bell.)

( Ethan halts the brawling onslaught and picks up lockdown and carries his battered body by the back of the head and slams into a near ringpost. Lockdowns forehead splits open poring bright red blood down his face. Ethan doesn't hesitate and picks up Lockdown again this time grabbing Lockdown's wrist and whipping him into the announcer's side steel steps.

Ethan cradles Lockdown's head underneath his arms and gives Lockdown a vicious DDT just as Referee Williams gets the bell to sound.)

The EWA President emerges from under the Psychotron wearing his hand-made, Oswald Boateng suit. Ethan Hunter instantly jumps up from his pin attempt and stands on his feet locking eyes with the prez, who is now made his way to the front of the stage, gazing down at the ring. Ethan picks up the chair he tossed into the ring and walks to the stage side ropes mouthing obscenities at Mr Flaws, urging him to come down the ring. Mr Flaws only stands with a smirk on his face with his chin high in the air almost fiendishly. Lockdown begins to show motion in his body and slowly makes it to one knee. The blood from Lockdown's head drips down onto the mat and spatters the canvass as he shakes his head. Flaws slowly lifts up his arm and extends his finger in the direction of the ring but doesn't point at Hunter. Instead he points at the, now standing but still woozy, Lockdown, who is behind Ethan. Ethan turns, realizing Flaws' gesture and finds targets Lockdown. Hunter blasts Lockdown over the head with the steel folding chair and quickly turns his attention back to The President. Referee waves his hands spastically at the time keeper and the ring side announcer begins his speech.)

( Hunter turns to the referee and begins cursing at Bill Williams for the decision. Ethan interrupts himself buy focusing his attention back to Lockdown. Hunter looks over his shoulder in Mr Flaws' direction only to find nothing as he has already left. Ethan raises the chair and begins bashing again and again and again on Lockdown's head.)

BA: As you know fans, as both Chris "RAIN" Smith and T Minus have no-showed here tonight, Mr Flaws has ordered the match to be cancelled and the title brackets vacated. That means next week we'll fill the empty brackets with two more world title hopefuls, but right now, we move right on to the continuing elimination tournament to crown or first EWA world champion!

Two long strip white lines run parallel to each other on each end of the ramp with a singular line of yellow lights down the center of the ramp creating a "highway" type image. A long singular blast of a big rig wrecks the air as the opening base cords of "Enter Sandman" erupt over the P.A. system. With each heavy drumbeat of the opening a flash comes across the screen briefly, showing a close up of Mac Maloy's determined eyes.

"Enter Sandman" is playing in full effect know as the house lights come on. An excerpt from the "Enter Sandman" video plays on the Psychotron depicting a Big Black 18-Wheeler chasing down it's soon to be victim. Mac Truck appears from under the Psychotron and walks out onto the front of the stage, stopping to look around at the crowd. He's wearing his bent up Cowboy hat with his torn, plaid, sleeveless t-shirt. His blue jean shorts have patches of old grease stains on the thighs. Truck looks at the ring one last time before holding his bulging, muscular arms over his head in a circle formation as a cascade of red pyro explodes behind him. Truck lowers his arms and descends to the ring. Once inside, Truck walks to the middle

Rage slides back in the ring and starts taunting the fans by flexing his muscles and wiping the sweat off his forehead. He grabs Mac by the head and screams something intelligible at him, then slams Mac face first into the mat. Rage kicks Mac one more good time in the back of the head, grabs the ring bell, and throws it forcefully down at Mac. It smashes right into the back of Mac's head, bouncing onto the mat, and opening a small cut.

Rage grabs the ref who is down next to him asking him if he wants to give up, and shoves him through the ropes. Mac hangs on to the STF as Rage reaches the ropes and wrenches back even harder. Rage lets out a painful howl. His fingers are within inches of the ropes. Mac wrenches back farther. Rage manages to latch on to the bottom rope. Mac wrenches back even farther!
