Blitz (June 18th 2002)

( "Live for the moment" by Monster Magnet initiates on queue from B.A. as Fight Club makes it way onto the stage from under the Psychotron. Jake Logan and Sebastian Knight are both wearing their usual ring attire as. Jake makes his way down the ramp first slapping hands with the fans as he gets closer to the ring. Knight walks slowly behind him starring with a determination on his face, at the squared circle. Logan reaches the apron and leap frogs up on the mat. Knight passes Logan and makes his way up the steel steps. They enter the ring simultaneously to a flurry of mixed cheers and boos.)

B.A.: D, is obviously not happy with Steven Rage's new obsession, for lack of a better word, with befriending Truck Maloy!! Should Truck trust Rage or should he watch his back those questions will be answered here tonight!! At I and all of the EWA fans hope they will!!!

( Monster Magnet is silenced as the Busta Rhymes and Ozzy Osbourne's duet " This Means War" signals the entrance of the next team. The brothers Austin and Brian Edmunds enter the arena with the booming of fantastic pyrotechnics. The two walk side by side down the ramp and to the ring. The members of the Fight Club circle the ring and approach the ropes as the Animals try to enter. The Animals back off as referee Mark Parker calls for Fight Club to back into a neutral corner so the match can begin.)

B.A.: Little Austin Animal and Big Daddy Animal otherwise known as The Animals look very pumped up for this match tonight!!! But Fight Club looks no less prepared for this inaugural Tag Team Event!!!

Mr.D.: One word B.A.........Family!!! If you'll check the record books I think you'll find that a majority of the greatest tag teams in history were brothers or cousins or related in some way!!!

B.A.: Well I'd have to agree that it would give some advantages!! Having been together all of their lives they have a more cohesive bond than perhaps those who have only been together for a few years!!!! But I have to go on record as saying they're are several great tag partners who became a team simply as victims of circumstance!!!

( The Animals finally get a chance to enter the ring as Paker manages to hold back the Fight Club. Austin Edmunds immediately exits the ring leaving Big Daddy Brian to begins the match. Opposite the Animals Knight and Logan begin talking to each other, each pointing a finger at themselves. Brian Edmunds slowly watches the discussion unfold into a slight argument and seizes his opportunity. Brian charges the two men and plants them both on the canvass with a huge DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE.)

( Logan rolls out of the ring under the rope and onto the floor grabbing the back of his head as he gets to his feet. He makes his way back up onto the apron and takes his position awaiting a tag. Inside the ring, Brian Edmunds hauls Sebastian Knight off the floor by the head. Big Daddy muscles Knight against the ropes and flings him across the ring with and Irish whip. Knight rebounds and is caught by Edmunds and hoisted into the air. Big Daddy plants Knight back on the mat with a thundering Sidewalk Slam followed by a hook of the leg cover.)

( Brian quickly gets to his feet before Sebastian grabbing a wrist and slinging Knight into The Animals corner. Big Daddy lands a few quick stunning kicks to the midsection of Knight and reaches his hand out for the tag. Big Daddy hoists Knight into a seated position on the top turnbuckle as Austin Edmunds climbs the turnbuckles behind Knight. Brian exits the ring as Little Austin Animal elevates Knight to his feet and then leaps into the air cradling Knights head and landing a Top Rope Bulldog.)

( Edmunds springs up from the mat and grabs the legs of Sebastian Knight. Austin quickly entangles his legs into Knights and flips him over into a Sharpshooter submission hold. Edmunds no sooner gets the hold locked in when Jake Logan charges into the ring. Parker misses the entrance as he flops onto his stomach to ask Knight if he wants to give up. Logan races across the ring and hits Edmunds in the back of the head with a forearm breaking up the submission. Parker sees the collision and bounces to his feet confronting Logan and shoving him back into Fight Clubs corner. Big Daddy quickly climbs into the ring as Parker and Logan exchange words. Big Daddy Edmunds picks up Knight off the canvass and hits a Evenflow DDT. Little Austin Animal gets back to his feet leaning against the turnbuckles while grabbing the back of his head. Big Daddy motions over to his brother and starts pointing a thumb up into the air urging him to go up top.)

( Parker succeeds in getting Logan to retreat from the ring and turns his attention back to the action. Knight lays on the mat as Austin Edmunds reaches the top turnbuckle. Austin drops his hand from the back of his head and leaps high into the air. Austin makes a frogsplash pump in the air and lands hitting the Extinction Level Event on Sebastian Knight. Parker flys to the canvass as Austin makes the hooked leg cover.)

( Little Austin quickly rolls under the ropes and joins Big Daddy at the bottom of the ramp. They raise their arms in victory as the back up onto the stage watching Fight Club. Logan comes into the ring and stands over Sebastian as he begins to slowly come to. Sebastian raises to a knee and Logan bends over placing a hand on Knight's shoulder. Sebastian looks up at Logan and shoves him away before getting to his feet. Logan flings his arms out in confusion. Sebastian returns the motion in confusion himself. )

Sebastian Knight: Look man I don't know what just happened but I will tell you one thing!! If your gonna continue to be my partner then you better get your act together!! We just lost this match in record time because you stood over in the corner with your thumb up your butt while I got my ass kicked all over the ring!!

Mr.D.: Well Sebastian may be right about one thing. These two better get their act together and quick. Their are only two tag teams in the EWA right now so they are always in contention for the Tag Title belts. But if they can't get on the same page then their gonna have to join in a long list of singles competition competitors who already have a jump on them for gold contention.

B.A.: Welcome back from station break and what a SLOBBERKNOCKER ...we have ready for you next!!! The Extreme title will be on the line as the champion Lockdown, the psychotic ex-con, takes on The Chairman!!!

( "Bang and Blame" by REM blares over the P.A. system as the lights dim slightly as pyro booms into the air. The Chairman makes his presence know as he makes his way out onto the stage with his purple steel folded chair. The crowd roars loud boos through the air as he holds up his weapon for all to see. He smiles and treks down the ramp to the ring stopping to raise a hand as if to hit a fan that spits on the ground in front of him. The Chairman holds his shot though and brings the hand back down and walks around the sputum on the floor.)

( Chairman steps into the ring and is angered as his music is interrupted before can begin his usual strut around the ring. Pantera is identified as the interrupting culprit, signaling the entrance of Lockdown with the playing of "Cowboys from Hell". Lockdown sports his Illinois State issue clothes as he walks down the ramp. In his right hand he holds a heavy chain with medieval style shackles on them. Around his shoulder is the Extreme Title belt.)

( Referee Bill Williams manages to detain Chairman as Lockdown enters the ring and takes off his belt and throws it across the ring canvass and watches it slide under the bottom rope, directly into the hands of the time keeper. Williams steps back and signals for the bell as Chairman anticipates the start of the match and charges an expectant Lockdown. Chairman takes a wild swing at Lockdown who ducks under the purple folded chair. Chairman turns around to find his opponent and is greeted with a with a fist rapped in chain, to the chin!! Chairman goes down hard dropping the chair and Lockdown immediately goes for the cover!!)

( Lockdown takes the chain and unwraps it from his fist. He lifts Chairman's head off the canvass and raps the chain around the throat of Chairman and pulls back. Chairman's legs kick wildly in the air as he struggles to breathe. Williams steps back unable to break the hold because of the no rules stipulation. Williams steps in front of Chairman and asks for the submission. Chairman only kicks harder at Williams still trying to get air. Lockdown releases the choke hold and raps his hand with the chain again and punches Chairman in the back of the head.!!)

( Lockdown re-applies the chain choke submission again. Chairman reaches back grasping the back of Lockdowns head. Chairman manages to lift his upper body off the mat slightly then drops back to the ground breaking the choke hold with a Chin Breaker. Lockdown flies backward releasing the chain as it falls to the ground. Chairman makes it to a knee when Lockdown regains his composure and comes in for the charge. Chairman drops to the mat and brings Lockdown down with a Drop Toe Hold causing Lockdown's face to collide with Chairman's purple folded chair that lies on the mat.)

( Chairman quickly gets up and takes the advantage. Chairman grabs the head of Lockdown and puts him in a standing head scissor position. Chairman grabs the waist of and attempts to hoist Lockdown's lower body into the air for a powerbomb on the chair but Lockdown quickly counters the maneuver dropping his feet from under him and lands a vicious uppercut right in the junk of Chairman. Chairman folds under the pain as he grabs his groin as he hits the mat. Lockdown grabs the legs of Chairman and looks around at the crowd then attempts to roll Chairman over into his signature submission.)

( Chairman struggles to keep his back on the mat fighting the strength of Lockdown. Chairman counters the Prison Walls as he brings his legs into his chest and then thrusts them out kicking Lockdown causing him to collide with the turnbuckles. Chairman gets up as Lockdown hits the turnbuckles and charges in. Lockdown brings up a big elbow and lands it on the chin of the rushing Chairman. Chairman stumbles back grabbing his face and shaking his head. Chairman turns back toward Lockdown who scoops up Chairman. Lockdown plants Chairman on the mat with a Michinoku Driver and hooks the leg for a cover.)

( Lockdown stares at his opponent in frustration and then turns his attention to the outside of the ring towards the announcer. Lockdown gets to his feet and then climbs out onto the apron and drops down to the floor. Chairman slowly makes it to a knee as he finds his purple chair on the mat. Lockdown a makes his way to the announcers table and starts stripping it clean. Lockdown throws the monitors off the table and rips off the top portion of the announcer's table.)

( In the ring Chairman has regained his vertical base and spied his opponent on the floor. Lockdown finishes his remodeling and turns back to the ring and is surprised when he's hit with somersault plancha with a chair from Chairman. Both men lay on the floor motionless, feeling the effects of the high risk, high damage, aerial assault!!

( Williams climbs out of the ring and checks to make sure both men are still breathing. He then starts the count as both men start slowly showing signs of life. Lockdown flops over onto his stomach and crawls over to the ring apron. Chairman does the same but makes his way to the steel steps.)

( Chairman pulls himself to a knee using the steps as Lockdown tries to get up tugging on apron. Lockdown fails and Chairman gets back to his feet as Williams stops the count. Chairman goes over to Lockdown's fallen body and grabs him by the head and lifts him up. Chairman rolls Lockdown into the ring and then turns back and finds the purple chair. Chairman rolls into the ring and places the folded chair on the face and chest of Lockdown. Chairman slowly makes his way back onto the apron through the second and third ropes and then places one foot on the bottom of a corner turnbuckle. Chairman places the next foot up until he climbs to the top of the turnbuckle and stands fully extended. Chairman leaps off the buckles flipping in the air and comes down onto Lockdown hitting The Hostile Takeover.)

( Williams retrieves the belt from the time keeper as Chairman sits on his knees in the ring. Williams hands the belt to the new champ and Chairman cradles the title belt in his arms looking down at it. Chairman makes his way to his feet and holds the belt into the air as he stumbles to the ramp side of the ring. Chairman flops down onto the canvass and rolls out of the ring.)

( The camera cuts from Chairman as he exits the arena area and then focuses back onto Lockdown who still lays flat on his back in the ring with the bent purple chair still on his torso. and face. The camera zooms in and gets a close up on Lockdown's face as blood begins to trickle down from both of Lockdown's nostrils. The camera then fades out to black and cuts to commercial.)

Lionheart grabs Corrupter, and Irish whips him into the ropes. Corruptor bounces off the ropes, and runs back toward his opponent. Lionheart drops to the mat and uses Corruptors momentum to lock him in a rollup Boston Crab.

Lionheart releases the hold after The Corrupter reaches the ropes. Corrupter crawls to the turnbuckle and begins to pull himself up. Lionheart slithers up behind him, grabbing Corruptor's hair and tossing him into the turnbuckle moments before stomping away at Corrupter's knees.

Lionheart backs away after a warning by the referee. The Corrupter stumbles out of the turnbuckle. Lionheart grabs Corrupter and goes for a verticle suplex, but Corrupter blocks it, and delivers a couple of stiff punches to Lionhearts ribs.

Corrupter takes advantage and vertical suplexes Lionheart. Corrupter picks Lionheart up and tries to Irish whip him across the ring. Lionheart hangs on to Corrupters wrist and kicks Corrupter in the stomach, doubling Corrupter over.

Lionheart delivers two stern European uppercuts to Corrupter then goes for a Hurricarana. Corrupter counters with a vicious powerbomb that leaves Lionheart crumbled in a heap of broken humanity.

The ref warns Corrupter that he isn't in an extreme match, and starts kicking the weapons out of the ring. Corrupter shrugs, and manages to save a steel chair from the mass exodus of weapons he so carefully chose. Lionheart hops to his feet, ducks a few clothesline attempts, and flies off the ropes with a huge flying forearm.

BA: Looks like Lionheart is on the prowl! Lionheart takes advantage and applies the Texas Cloverleaf, leaning all the way back, putting all his weight on the lower back and hips of the Corruptor.

He breaks the hold for a moment and stomps on the knees of Corruptor then reapplies the Cloverleaf. He then pulls Corruptor up by the hair, and Irish whips him back and forth between the turnbuckles.

As Corruptor falls to the ground Lionheart runs and bounces off the ropes and then attempts the Lionsault on Corruptor. Corrupter grabs a chair and places it right on his sternum before Lionheart crashes down on top of it.

Lionheart: Well looks like I have a little more work to do before I accomplish my first task... removing the slackers from the EWA!! So as Corruptor leaves let me ask you one question...Did you enjoy the match tonight?" crowd cheers

Both men back away to different corners. Bridge hands the title to Jack Cole and turns and watches as Cole hands the belt to ring attendent. Meanwhile, El Spastico reaches down and smashes Bridge in the back with a chair and throws it away.

Bridge is still groggy and Spas is holding his shoulder. Bridge shakes of the cobwebs of Spas' early onslaught. Bridge clombers over and picks up Spas, flinging him into the barricade. Bridge watches Spas grovel in pain before he charges in for a clothesline that sends Spas over the Barricade. Bridge nimbley hops the barricade in pursuit.

Bridge slides back out of the ring and pounds away at Spas, who manages to give Bridge a low blows that sends him falling back to the floor. Spas gets up and whips Bridge into the barricade. Spas then mounts the apron and hits a spinning wheel kick to Bridge at the barricade. Both men are down. Spas hops to his feet first...

Spas walks over to Bridge and lifts the chair up. Jack Cole slides out of the ring, and stops Spas by grabbing the chair in mid-swing. Spas is irate and decides to stomp on Bridge in frusrtation.

Both men are slow to recover with Bridge being the first up. He sees that Spas has had the wind knocked out of him and moves behind, delivering a vicious full nelson slam. Bridge goes for the cover...

Bridge waits for the Corruptor to charge and ducks the chairshot and returns with the TV belt to the head of the Corruptor. Bridge stands over Corruptor and points to the belt and says its mine.

Bill and Mr. D are silenced as the opening guitar chords to Limp Bizkit's "My Way" plays. The arena lights dim and a white angel appears on the Psychotron. Smoke drifts onto the entrance and blue lights shine down onto it.

As the opening lines are sung, white pyro goes off on either side of the stage as a shadowy figure appears through the smoke. The figure raises his arms in the air and shouts out in anger as the song continues

Again white pyro explodes from the sides of the stage and the figure strides out of the smoke. The shrouded figure is Jarod Crow. The crowd cheer as he slowly walks down the ramp, maintaining eye contact with the special referee, as the song goes on.

Pillars of blue flame erupt from either side as Crow strides confidently past. The lights are blazing neon blue, lighting up the white angel on Crow's shirt and the crosses on his tights. Jarod stops and raises one hand in a mocking salute to Damien Smith as the music continues.

When he reaches the ring he removes his trench coat and throws it into the crowd. He then jumps up to the ring apron, climbs one of the turnbuckles and raises his arms in the air as blue pyro goes off on the other three. Suddenly, he backflips off the turnbuckle into the ring and circles round the ring staring at Smith with a snarl on his face as the last of the music plays.

Jarod turns and catches Thunder sneaking in. Jarod Irish whips Thunder into the ropes, then leapfrogs him. As Thunder bounces off the ropes, Crow takes off in the other direction, bouncing off the opposite direction and bounces off the ropes on the other side of the ring. Crow leaps forward, slamming a forearm into Thunder's head.

As Thunder hits the mat, Crow bounces off the mat and bounces off the ropes again, delivering a huge Senton Splash onto his fallen victim. Thunder rolls around the mat in pain. As he works his way to his feet, Crow bounces off the ropes again and delivers a drop kick to Thunder's head.

Crow bounces off the ropes again and tries to hit Thunder again, but Thunder raises up his foot to deliver a big boot. Crow ducks under, kicks Thunder in the stomach and drops him with a Downward Spiral.

Jarod drags Thunder to his feet, then drops him again with a DDT. Crow hops to the top rope as Thunder works his way to his feet. Crow leaps off the top rope with a flying axe handle to Thunder's head. Thunder staggers back. Crow jumps to the top rope again, and flies off again, laying into Thunder with a huge flying clothesline! Thunder smashes into the mat. Crow delivers a few stiff kicks into Thunder's stomach, the ascends to the top rope again.

As Jarod bounces off of the ropes, Thunder, now on his feet, moves in with a stiff clothesline. Thunder starts to kick Jarod in the head. As Crow tries to work his way to his feet, Thunder stomps his fingers. Smith gives him a warning, but it is quickly ignored.

Thunder drags Crow to his feet, scoop slams him, and follows with a leg drop. Thunder climbs on top of Crow and starts pounding away. Smith starts a warning count. Thunder continues to pound away.

Smith moves into position and asks Thunder if he wants to give it up. Thunder shakes his head furiously from side to side. He reaches for the rope, but just misses it. Crow continues to wrench back. Smith asks Thunder if he wants to give it up again, but gets a loud "NO!"

Crow lets Thunder go, and slides to the outside. Thunder pulls himself to his feet, and rests in the corner. Crow slides back in with the time-keeper's hammer and takes a huge swing at Thunder. Thunder drops out of the way and the hammer slams into the turnbuckle before bouncing back and smacking Crow in the face.

Thunder takes advantage and German suplexes Crow halfway across the ring. Crow lays in the middle of the ring, nearly broken in half. Thunder celebrates briefly, and then goes to work on Crow, stomping him in the head.

As Crow watches on, Max Mancuso slides into the ring. Mancuso taps Crow on the shoulder. As Crow spins around, Mancuso drops him to the mat with a Spinebuster, then applies the Texas Cloverleaf!

Adam smashes a few TV monitors onto the fallen Smith, stomps him in the face a couple of times, then slides into the ring. Mancuso releases the Cloverleaf, drags him to his feet, slaps him in the face couple of times, then gives him to Adam.

Fury: Did you like that!? DID YOU!? From this point on, that is EXACTLY what every single EWA wrestler has to look forward to. There aren't any rookies in this ring here. We are the single most dominant faction that has ever graced a wrestling ring period! There is a new measuring stick around here and WE are it! So take a real close look at what happened here tonight. BURN it into you mind. Replay it again and again and again at night until you can't sleep. And when you do sleep at night, dream about it. Scream about. Wake up in cold sweats knowing that each and every one of your careers just got much, much shorter.

Mancuso: You know it's real, real simple. No one in that back room can do what we can inside this ring. And this? this was just a small, small example of what we can do. Let's face facts with facts. No one cares about Jarod Crow. No one cares about Johnny Thunder. No one cares about Damine Smith. No one! But these three curtain-jerkers were just the start. Just the beginning. We are going to tear through here with the fury of God. No one is safe. No one will be sparred. No one will survive!

Adam: It is hard to believe that some of you are all descendants of my fine country. I will make everyone pay for the disgrace I feel standing in front of such a large mass of ignorance and immorality.

BA : Folks, we're back from what has been a shocking night here in the EWA! The IPWA faction have made themselves know here tonight, leaving a trail of bodies behind them. But just who is the "BOSS"???

BA: Mr Flaws is an evil man, but this was just damn sickening. I'm being told right now folks, that it's time for our main event of the evening. A changed Steven Rage locks up one more time with the EWA world champion, Mac "Truck" Maloy!!

( Limp Bizkit blast through the air as the lights go out completely. Extraordinary pyrotechnics shatter the dark arena as Steven Rage hits the stage. Loud cheers roar through the crowd as Rage races down to the ring and slides into the squared circle under the bottom ropes. Rage jumps to his feet and takes a slight sprint to the ropes and bounces off of them. He stops in the middle of the ring and bounces a bit warming up before the match. )

( The arena goes dark again with the only light coming from two small dots on the Psychotron. Enter Sandman starts to key up over the P.A. and then pyro shoots up from the ramp and stage as Lars of Metallica hits the opening drum beats. The signature simulated highway lights up the ramp along with the shimmering silver pyro as the Truck excerpt from the Enter Sandman video plays on the screen. Truck Maloy bursts out of the back and makes his way to the front of the stage. He holds the EWA World Title over his head as the crowd goes berserk with cheers. Truck drops the title to his shoulders and walks down to the ring while keeping eye contact with Rage.)

( Truck makes his way into the ring and hands the belt to referee Jack Cole. Cole takes the belt and hands it to the time keeper and then calls for the bell. The two men circle briefly before stopping in the center of the ring. Truck stares deep into the eyes of Rage as Steven returns the glare. Steven then slowly reaches out a hand in Truck's direction asking for a handshake. Truck looks at Rages hand for a few seconds in confusion then stands and deliberates the sincerity of the gesture of respect. The short debate is soon concluded when Truck begins to reach out his hand to Rages and then quickly raises a middle finger in the face of Rage..)

Mr.D.: That's just what I said before!! As much as I can't stand Truck Maloy I've got to say he's not afraid to stand alone!! He doesn't want or need any friends, as far as he's concerned!! That takes big brass you know what's, considering how many people want a shot at his title!!

( Rage throws his hands out wide and shakes his head in a gesture of understanding at Truck's refusal of the handshake. The two start to circle again when, once again, Rage makes a gesture to Truck. This time Rage holds a hand high into the air asking for a test of strength. Truck looks around as the crowd cheers showing their approval of seeing who is the strongest. Truck reluctantly begins to place a hand up and grasps Steven's. They lock their free hands and then step into each other. Both men begin to struggle and push against the other. Truck slowly starts to lose the battle as Rage forces Truck into a low position. Rage pushes further and Truck is forced to drop to a knee. The crowd begins to roar louder and louder with each passing second then stops. A chant begins to bellow.)

( Truck finds a fire deep inside and then begins to battle his way back to a vertical base. Both men's arms begins to shake as the muscle strain and begin to tire. Rage takes the disadvantage on one knee. Truck stands over Rage know shoving Steven's hands further and further down. Rage begins to shake his head no and then fights his way back to a vertical base. Both men find themselves back on their feet with neither one having the strength left to power the other one down. Rage finally breaks the test as he brings a knee up into the midsection of Truck and then slips him into a headlock.)

( Truck breaks the headlock, flinging Rage across the ring against the announcer's side ropes. Rage bounces back and drives a shoulder into Truck but Truck stands his ground unscathed by the shoulder block. Rage and Truck stand glaring at each other then Rage races to the ropes again returning another shoulder block on Truck. Truck again fails to go down. Rage and Truck stand toe to toe and Rage throws out a point daring Truck to try a shoulder block of his own. Truck sprints to the ropes and rebounds back at Rage. Rage finds his back on the canvass as Truck floors him with a shoulder block. Truck stands over Rage looking down at him with a wide smile on his face. He takes a step back and allows Steven to get back up unmolested.)

( The two men circle once more and lock up in a collar and elbow. Rage quickly gets in another headlock and then switches into a rear wastelock. Truck reverses with a rear wastelock of his own. Rage tries to get another waste lock but can't break the grip of Truck. Truck lifts Rage into the air but Rage hooks his legs and throws his head forward flipping Truck over and down to the mat. As Truck flips over Rage, Rage grabs the legs of Truck and referee Jack Cole drops to the mat to count the pin.)

( Truck quickly gets up off the canvass and turns to Rage but Rage is one step ahead of Truck and lands a kick into Truck's stomach. Rage muscles Truck into the announcer's side ropes and then Irish whips Truck across the ring. Rage goes for a clothesline but Truck ducks under and then flies off the opposite ropes and hits Rage with a flying forearm and Rage hits the canvass with authority. Truck quickly goes on the attack hits the near side ropes for added momentum and drops and elbow down across the forehead of Rage. Truck grabs Rage by the head and lifts him up. Mac muscles Rage into the nearest turnbuckle and then drives a shoulder into Rages stomach. Truck climbs up on the second ropes standing over Rage. He begins landing punches as the crowd counts out each impact. On the count of nine Truck stops and makes the "horn blow" gesture pumping his fist into the air.)

( Truck jumps down from the ropes bringing down a thundering Bionic Elbow across the head of Rage. Truck grabs a wrist of Rage and flings him into the opposite turnbuckles. Rage's body bounces hits the corner with enormous force nearly moving the ring. Truck sprints to the middle of the ring and lifts off into the air for the Traffic Jam. But Rage dives out of the way just before the collision and Truck hammers into the buckles staggering him backward into Rage. Rage gets a waist lock hits a German Suplex. Rages continues the hold lifting Truck off the canvass and then drops him back onto his head with another German Suplex. Rage uses his last bit of strength and powers Truck's almost limp body up and lands a third German Suplex on Truck. )

( Rage slowly gets to his feet exhausted from the power he expended on the previous offense. Rage finds Truck still down and quickly grabs Truck's legs interlocking them into his own and putting Mac into a Figure Four Leglock submission. Truck's once seemingly unconscious body rips to life as his torso shoots off the mat. Truck sounds deafening screams throughout the arena as Rage continually slaps his upperbody off the mat to shoot extra pressure into Truck's knee.)

( Truck slowly starts to fade away as the pain becomes to immense for him to bare. Referee Jack Cole drops to the mat as Truck, unable to move from the pain lays flat on the mat wincing and grimacing. Cole goes for a pin count but is quickly stopped at two when Truck lifts his shoulder off the mat. Truck looks behind him as he breaks the pin count and slowly begins to pull with all his might. Truck reaches out and just missing the bottom rope. Truck desperately pulls again only managing to gain a few inches and then reaches again. Truck lands a fingers on the rope then another until he has a full grasp. Cole rushes over to Rage and begins counting for the break. Rage breaks the hold as Truck lays on the mat grasping his knee.)

( Rage slowly makes it up off the mat and sits on both knees. He shakes his head as he looks over at Truck and then wipes the sweat from his face. Steven gets back to his feet and walks over to Truck, still laying on the mat. Rage grabs Truck by the head and lifts him along the ropes. Rage goes for the Irish whip but Truck manages a reversal and sends Rage on the go. Rage shoots off the ropes and is caught by Truck mid ring. Truck lands a Powerslam on Rage but bounces off Rages body from the force of the impact. The two men lay on the mat side by side gasping for air.)

( Truck begins to show some movement as Jack Cole gets to the count of 6. Truck flops his body over onto his stomach with his outstretched arm landing on Rage. Cole drops to the mat and counts the pin attempt.)

( Rage makes it to his feet as Truck does the same simultaneously. Rage throws out a desperation right hand striking Mac across the side of the face. Truck returns with a right of his own. The punches become faster and faster as the two stand in the middle of the ring exchanging blow after blow. Rage blocks a right of Truck and takes another swing but Truck ducks under Rage's right hand and Rage's momentum spins him around. Truck steps into the back of Rage and brings him down with a Side Russian Leg Sweep. Without hesitation Truck reaches over and flips Rage onto his stomach and climbs on top of him locking in the Transmission.)

( Rage grimaces in pain briefly and then manages to get an arm free and reach out. Rage grabs the bottom rope on the announcer's side of the ring and Cole begins the count. Cole gets to four but Truck refuses to break the hold. Cole tries to push Truck off but Truck just locks down harder. Cole gives another four count then uses all of his might to Push Truck off as Truck doesn't acknowledge the count again. Cole pushes Truck away from Rage and begins to pull himself up along the announcer's side ropes. Truck and Cole continues the argument as Cole begins to turn his body from between the two men. Heads begin to pop up all around the crowd and a lull begins to form. The camera cuts to the stage as Damian Smith comes running down to the ring wielding a chair.)

( Truck and Referee cole are oblivious to the presence of Smith as they continue to mouth at each other. Rage on the opposite side of the ring spies Smith as he slides into the ring under the bottom rope. Smith bounces quickly to his feet raising the chair high into the air to bash over Truck's head from behind. Rage sprints to the middle of the ring and drives a shoulder into the back of Truck sending both Truck and Jack Cole colliding into a corner across the ring. Rage's head is split open as the chair from Damian Smith crashes down onto his head. Cole drops to the floor as Truck smashes into him crunching him into the corner. Truck turns back to the ring to see what hit him and finds Rage on the canvass and Smith standing over him with a bewildered look on his face.)

( Smith turn to where his would be target now stands as is greeted with a boot to the stomach. Smith drops the chair as he hunches over and Truck lands The Overdrive ( a.k.a. Double Arm DDT) on Smith. Truck gets back up and kicks Smith repeatedly in the side forcing Smith out of the ring. A flurry of refs come running down to the ring as Smith hits the floor. Truck looks over to find Rage on the floor motionless and falls on him for the pin. The crowd begins to count 1..2..but they are unaided by the voice of Cole as he lays on the mat in the corner. Truck gets up as he never hears the count and walks back over to Cole. Rage begins to move.)

( Truck shakes Jack Cole finally reviving the official. Rage gets back to a less than vertical base as Truck tells Cole to count the pinfall. Truck turns back to go for another cover but Rage lands a kick of his own. Rage steps in hooking Truck's arms and then plants him on the mat with The Devastator. Rage rolls Truck over and hooks a leg as Cole slowly crawls over to make the count.)

B.A.: MORE THAN THAT!!! STEVEN RAGE HAS JUST HANDED MAC TRUCK MALOY HIS FIRST LOSS IN THE EWA!!! STEVEN RAGE HAS DONE WHAT NOBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO DO!!! AND YES.....RAGE HAS JUST DEFEATED THE EWA WORLD TITLE CHAMP BUT THE TITLE WASN'T ON THE LINE!!!!

( Rage rolls off of Truck and slides into a near corner breathing very heavily. Truck rolls over onto his stomach and manages to sit up on his knees as he hangs his head realizing what has just transpired. Truck crawls out of the ring and goes over to the time keeper and gets his belt and walks back to the ramp never lifting his head from the ground. Truck starts up the ramp as the replay of Rage pushing Truck out of the way and receiving a chair shot to the head plays over the Psychotron. Inside the ring Rage pulls himself up as he leans against the corner still trying to catch his breath. Truck stops as the replay shows again and lifts his head slightly to watch. The replay finishes as Truck does an about face and walks back to the ring. Mac slides into the ring under the ropes with his belt and lays it across his shoulders as he gets to his feet. Rage takes a step forward and the two lock eyes.)

( The glares continues and then Truck takes a step forward until the two are nose to nose. Neither says a word as Truck reaches out and grabs the wrist of Rage. Truck flings Rages arm up in the air in victory, doing the job that Jack Cole still lays on the mat unable to signal the victor. Truck turns to the other side of the ring and repeats the arm raise again. The crowd shakes the Bateman Center with cheers as Truck turns to another side and raises Rage's arm one last time. Truck exits the ring and hangs his head again and walks up the ramp.)
