The EWA Presents

Live from the Delta Center

In Salt Lake City, UT

Richard Riley: "Good Evening, ladies and gentleman! Welcome to the sold out Delta Center and the home of the Utah Jazz. To my right, is my broadcast colleague for the evening, Roger Coughlin!"

Roger Coughlin: "Yeah, yeah, yeah! What a great honor for you! Blah, blah blah! If Rothschild wasn't such a little baby, mourning the loss of the love of his life, I'd still be up in Vegas gambling away the EWA's money!"

Richard Riley: "You get more repugnant each week, Roger! As my abrasive partner alluded to, Vice President Rothschild is not here this evening. That could spell trouble for some of the stars."

Roger Coughlin: "Maybe for once we'll get some straight matches without that crippled bastard butting his nose in to them."

Richard Riley: "You realize your talking about your… Ah, why bother. Let's get the show rolling!"

"Let Me Hit It" by Mystikal blares over the P.A. system. All of the sudden Daddy Desire walks out onto the ramp. The men fans boo and the women fans start screaming for him. Daddy Desire is wearing a pair of navy blue Polo jeans, a blue Polo sweatshirt and a pair of blue and black Jordans. Daddy Desire paces around on the ramp for a few seconds. He walks down the ramp, and down the aisle, kissing females on the hand and on the cheek and laughing at the men as he walks. Daddy Desire enters the ring and does a little dance while he stands in the ring. Daddy Desire motions for the announcer to hand him a mic. The announcer hands Daddy Desire the mic.

Daddy Desire: "He's Baaackkkkk! That's right, the man that the men fear and the women adore has returned to EWA. Hide your title's and you wife's boys because Daddy Desire has came to clown. Last time I was here it was just the prelimes to what is going to happen this time in EWA. I tested the waters and I liked what I saw, but my injury forced me back out. But this time I am all better and ready to give as many beatdowns as humanly possible. I mean just look at me, who can possibly take out this man? I see no one. Because there is no one. I am Daddy Desire, and you all are just the rest. "

The crowd has a scatter of boo's and cheers through it.

Daddy Desire: "Now that I got that out of the way. Lets get to the real reason I came out here. Right now I would like for The South Syndicate Soldiers to get out here. I know you are back there watching me so get out here."

All of the sudden "Push" by Matchbox20 plays over the P.A. system. The South Syndicate Soldiers walk out onto the ramp. Matt Allen is wearing his wrestling gear and Kenneth Morlock is wearing a pair of Tommy jeans and a Tommy sweatshirt. They dont hesitate to walk to the ring. They both enter the ring. Matt Allen goes and sits on the turnbuckle as Kenneth Morlock walks over by Daddy Desire.

Daddy Desire: "Big Brother Kenneth. All my life it has been me listening to you, me doing what you said, me joining who you want me to join. Well that isnt gonna happen anymore. I am Andrew Morlock, not miniature Kenneth Morlock. Well now I am doing what I want, and what I want to do is kick your's and Matt Ass."

Kenneth Morlock talks into the mic he brought(Allen has one too)

Kenneth Morlock: "No, you did those things because you wanted to be like me, you couldnt stand that I was better than you and mom liked me better."

Matt Allen: "She liked me too."

Daddy Desire: "You shut up, your the reason I have always been low. Ken, always wanted to team with you and go and train with you. I was always pushed to the side."

Matt Allen jumps off the turnbuckle and walks over in Daddy Desires face.

Matt Allen: "Oh the little runt wants to cry for us all."

Daddy Desire pushes Matt Allen out of his face. Matt Allen puts his hand up to hit Daddy Desire and Kenneth Morlock grabs Matt's hand. Allen turns around and Kenneth Morlock clothelines Matt Allen down to the mat. Daddy Desire and Kenneth Morlock then begin stopming on the back of Matt Allen. Daddy desire then scoops up Matt Allen and hits the love tap, a Tombstone Piledriver. Matt Allen is totally knocked out laying in the middle of the ring.

Kenneth Morlock: "Did you think I was gonna let you lay a hand on my brother? My Flesh and blood. Hell NO! I was tired of your sorry carcuas anyways. You were never a South Syndicate Soldiers, you were just the guy that took Andrew's place while he was injured. I have carried you since you came into this business Matt. And then at Yueltide Beatings we lost our first title match ever because you couldnt take the heat. That was the last draw. the straw that broke the camels back. I am tired of carrying around dead weight. So I called up my brother, who I knew was eager to get back anyway, and we planned "THE BEAT DOWN." OH my GOD Kenny Killed Matt. Out with the old and in with the new."

Daddy Desire: "See Matt, you never should have came and thought you were taking my place. There isnt room for three in this team. So we had to cut the access, and you just happened to be the access. See Daddy Desire doesnt play around. I do what I need to do, when I need to do it. Now it is time for EWA to get some of this. I got Ken's back and he got my back. SSS is dead. Blood is thicker than water.

"Let Me Hit It" by Mystikal plays again as Kenneth Morlock and Daddy Desire kick Matt Allen as they both leave the ring. The EMT's come and take Allen away.

Richard Riley: "So Daddy Desire makes his return to the EWA after a few months away but much to the dismay of Matt Allen."

Roger Coughlin: "Morlock should of dropped that bum a long time ago. The only reason that the SSS didn't win the tag titles was because of Allen's incompetence. At least now he knows that he can trust his flesh and blood!"

Richard Riley: "That may be the most preposterous thing, I've ever heard. The SSS have won tag titles before!"

Roger Coughlin: "Dick! Stick what you know which is next to nothing and leave the analysis to the pros. Morlock carried that team and Allen was just damn lucky to come along for the ride!"

Richard Riley: "It looks like the South Syndicate Soldiers are over but right now we have the debut of the former WC World champion, Dan "The Destroyer" Dehart. Let's get to the ring for this match."

The Wrecker is waiting anxiously in the ring as "Man in the Box" by Alice in Chains begins to play. The man known as the "Destroyer" walks out to a moderate cheer from the fans. Dan walks out wearing an old Dan "The Destroyer" WC T-shirt. He slaps hands with the fans as he walks down to the ring.

The bell rings and the match starts. The two huge men begin to circle and then lock up. Wrecker pushes Dan off and then flexes. The fans begin to boo loudly. Dan smiles and then locks up with his opponent. The time Dan lets out a yell and shoves the Wrecker backwards into the ropes. Dan pumps his pecs, which brings some cheers from the fans.

The wrecker holds up his hand for a test of strength. The two men lock up one hand in a Greco-Roman knuckle lock. Neither man has the advantage at they lock their other hands together. Both men are chest to chest and you can see the strain on their faces. Dan begins to gain the advantage. Destroyer begins to apply the pressure but Wrecker gives him a kick to the gut to break the hold. The Wrecker begins clubbing his opponent over the back with axe handle blows.

Wrecker pulls up Dan, whips him into the ropes and goes for a clothesline but Dan ducks and comes back with a flying shoulder block. Wrecker hits the mat hard as Dan lets out a yell and drops an elbow on him. Dan locks on a rear chin lock and plants a knee in his opponent's back for extra leverage. Wrecker begins to struggle and makes it to his feet. He gives an elbow to Dan and then runs in to the ropes. Wrecker hits Dan with a shoulder block that sends him down to the canvas.

Wrecker picks up Dan and nails him with a short forearm. He goes to whip Dan into the Ropes but a reversal by the "Destroyer." Drop down by Dan. Wrecker goes into the ropes and Dan catches him with a monster powerslam. Dan picks up his opponent and Irish whips him into the corner. Dan nails him with a running lariat. It looks like Dan is calling for the "Final Destruction!" He lifts up Wrecker for a vertical suplex but then drops him down into a seated powerbomb and pin. The ref makes the count…

Winner: Dan "The Destroyer" Dehart via Final Destruction

Dan gets up and raises his arms in victory as the Wrecker makes his way to the locker rooms. Out come Dan's partner g-Crusher to celebrate the victory. g-Crusher and Wrecker pass each other and Wrecker bumps him and mutters something. g-Crusher has something in his hand. It looks like it's a two-foot long lead pipe. g-Crusher cracks Wrecker across the back with the pipe sending him crashing to the ground. g-Crusher continues to beat on Wrecker. He starts to choke Wrecker with the pipe. Wrecker looks like he's out. Here comes security to finally drag g-Crusher off.

Richard Riley: "That was an impressive debut for "The Destroyer!"

Roger Coughlin: "It was okay. The best part of that match was when g-Crusher came out and beat down that fool Wrecker with that lead pipe!"

Richard Riley: "I figured you would like that part the best."

Roger Coughlin: "What could be better than a beat down with a lead pipe? Coming up next, we're gonna see--"

Coughlin is cut off as the arena lights completely black out

Richard Riley: "All right, enough is enough, Roger.... What did you do to the lights?"

Before Roger can answer, the music kicks in... the first few chords of "The Dope Show" by Marilyn Manson... and who should emerge from the curtain than "Total Elimination" Eli Flair and Poison Ivy. Ivy's left knee is visibly wrapped in an Ace bandage, though she is no longer on crutches. Flair has a VERY noticeable limp, but does not slow down at all as he and Ivy make their way to the ring. On the back of his leather trench he has added, in bright sequins, the words "We're All Stars Now" and has chopped about six inches off his hair.... Upon entering the ring, the two simply take in the crowd, and bask in the standing ovation the two are receiving... Ivy holds a microphone.

Poison Ivy: "WE'RE BACK!!!!"

HUGE Fan Pop

Ivy: "I want to take a minute or two and thank everyone that supported us through this time... what with Eli and I both being injured, and actually having to deal with taking a loss, albeit through injury, to Dee Brown."

"But that's not why we're here. We don't make excuses. It's been a long hard road, but we've finally come around and pulled through both our professional, personal, and medical difficulties. THE EWA IS ABOUT TO FEEL THE PAIN AGAIN!!!!"

She hands the mike off to Flair

Eli Flair: "There's been a lot of talk about how maybe Flair can't handle it anymore.... about how Flair can't seem to get a grip on things anymore... well, time will tell. No, let me rephrase. TIME HAS TOLD.  

Cyris, tough draw, buddy. Looks like you couldn't hack it anymore. It also looks like you'll never get to erase that blemish from your record... you'll never be able to deal with the fact that this young punk kid was man enough to take EVERYTHING you had and still be standing.... and as a matter of fact, it was YOU who was facedown in the middle of the ring with nowhere to go but OUT... as in TAP OUT. So, that's fine. I'm past that, in any case, and I've moved on. Or maybe, I should say, I've moved back. Back to 1995, and a man named Dr. Silver.

Doc, Doc, Doc..... Looks like you found me again.... and it looks like we've got the chance to dance the dance yet again. Two times so far, we've gone at it... and two times so far you've come out on top. First it was Dark Warrior getting in my face, then it was your taser gun deciding things for you.

That's how you want to play it? Fine by me. You've even said, time and time again, that you won't get back in the ring with me since you've got "nothing left to prove." Have it your way.... but by the same token, expect no mercy from Eli Flair.

He tosses the microphone down and he and Ivy leave the ring to a LOT of cheers.

Richard Riley: "Eli Flair and Poison Ivy make their long awaited return to the EWA."

Roger Coughlin: "Who Cares?"

Richard Riley: "Apparently the fans and I'm sure the other wrestlers will as well. Flair is a major talent and he took the then Global Hardcore champion, Cyris to the limit."

Roger Coughlin: "He sucks!"

Richard Riley: "Well, that is certainly debatable. Next we have a revenge match of sorts as Tyrant looks to get revenge on the man that cost him the EWA Cruiserweight title. Any thoughts on this match up, Roger?"

Roger Coughlin: "They both suck!"

Richard Riley: "With that thought in mind, let's get down to the ring."

"Judgement Day" by Method Man plays, the lights, the sounds, you all know the drill, it's Natural Born Killah. He comes down to the ring to a mix of boos and cheers from the fans.

Then "Smack My Bitch Up." Roars out of the speakers, and mixed boos and cheers burst forth in a cacophony of noise to add up to a rather large POP. He gets in the ring, raising his hands for the fan, but LOOK OUT! NBK just picked Tyrant up and hit a MASSIVE scoop slam! NBK is on the loose, kicking the man while he's down, but the speedy Tyrant rolls to his feet and hits a missile drop kick that NBK back a few steps. That's just enough for Tyrant to launch his own offensive.

A swinging neck breaker followed by a hard left to the face sends the man down! Tyrant climbs to the top and goes for a moonsault, but NO!! NBK is out of the way already! Belly flop on the mat, and NBK hits a body splash to finish it! NBK goes for the pin...

1...

2...

Shoulder up! Tyrant barely managed to get his shoulder up! NBK roars and slams Tyrant to the mat, then picks him up and slams him again! He's kicking Tyrant around, screaming obscenities, not letting him up...

Here comes Dawgbone! Dawgbone is on the apron, and the ref is trying to get him off, and DRIFTER COMES OUT OF THE CROWD!! That explains the distasteful looks in that section! Drifter comes out with a chair and slams it into NBK with a loud "WHANG!" before tossing the chair away. The ref argues with Dawgbone to go to the back as Drifter pulls Tyrant over the dazed NBK, then gets out of the ring. The ref turns and sees this, and makes the count…

3...!!

Richard Riley: "It looks like Tyrant gets his revenge on Natural Born Killah for costing him the Cruiserweight titles. Although he did get some help from the rest of Death Row."

Roger Coughlin: "What help? I didn't see anything."

Richard Riley: "You've got be kidding me…Oh, why do I bother? Anyway another victory for Tryant as he moves closer to regaining the title he held briefly."

Roger Coughlin: "So what's up next Dick? Let's keep the show moving. Nobody wants to listen to you drone on at night. Least of all, me!"

Richard Riley: "Next up we have two newcomers to the EWA. This should be an excellent match as Dr. Silver takes on the man known as "Fox", Hans Taubmann.

Roger Coughlin: "I like this "Fox" guy."

Richard Riley: "You would! To be honest he chills me to my bones and I hope he gets the snot kicked out of him."

"Dumb" by Garbage begins to play throughout the Delta Center. There is a mixture of boos and cheers as Dr. Silver comes out to the ring with his manager Green Machine. The two men climb into the ring as the lights in the arena go low.

A strange red glow appears around the arena as the theme from "Halloween" starts to play. The eerie feeling can be felt by all as Hans "Fox" Taubmann comes out of the entranceway. He is wearing a shirt that says "The reason is Crystal clear" is blood red lettering and has an odd smirk on his face. The fans boo loudly and Hans simply gives a little wave to the fans.

The match starts out fast as Silver runs right at Fox and nails him with a dropkick. Silver picks up Fox for a quick slam and then follows it up with an elbow drop. Silver goes for a pin already…

1…

Fox kicks out.

Fox quickly slides backwards towards the corner with a sly look on his face. Silver advances on Fox and catches him in the corner with a few well-placed chops. Silver begins to lay the boots to Fox's midsection. Silver hip tosses Fox out of the corner. Silver runs at his opponent and nails him with a hard clothesline. Fox gets up and is knocked back into the corner by a dropkick from Silver.

Silver follows up with a few chops to the chest and then Irish whips Fox across the to the opposite corner. Silver runs across looking to hit a lariat but Fox sidesteps causing Silver to nail the turnbuckle hard. Fox then grabs Silver in a reverse waist lock and hits a German suplex. Fox bridges back for a pin…

Silver kicks out…

Silver is quick to his feet and he is met with a right to the face from Fox that knocks him back down to the ground. Fox begins stomping on the back of Silver. Fox has a wild look on his face as he begins to choke Doc Silver. The referee almost makes it to five before Fox finally releases the hold. Fox grabs Silver and whips him into the ropes. Silver comes back but is nailed by an enziguri kick that knocks him to the ground. Fox quickly climbs to the top rope and comes off looking to nail a centon back splash but Doc Silver rolls out of the way.

Silver pulls Fox to his feet and whips him into the ropes. Silver attempts a clothesline but Fox ducks under and nails him with a savate kick. Fox grabs Silver's arm and applies an arm bar. Silver works his way back to his feet. He grabs Fox and picks him up for a scoop slam. Silver slams down Fox but the man holds on and takes his opponent over with him.

Fox holds on to Silver's arm and drags it outside the ring. Fox winds up and slams Silver's arm against the ring post. Fox has a wild look in his eyes as he slams Silver's arm against the post again. Fox goes and picks up a chair and slams it against Silver's upper arm. The referee is yelling for Fox to get back into the ring.

Fox looks like he has gone nuts as he continues to slam the chair against Silver's arm. The referee is yelling for Fox to stop but he refuses. Fox is trying to injure Dr. Silvers. Green Machine runs over and tries to pull the chair away from Fox but he gets nailed with a shot to the head. Fox rolls into the ring and continues to slam the chair onto the shoulder and arm of Dr. Silver. The referee has seen enough and is calling for the bell.

Winner: Dr. Silver via DQ

The referee comes over and orders Fox to stop. Fox turns and it looks like Fox has snapped. He slams the referee in the head with the chair and throws him over the top rope. Fox grabs Silver and locks on the Bloodchiller. Silver is practically out but Fox refuses to leave the ring.

Four Riot Squad cops come out of the back and file down to the ring. They step into the ring and pull out nightsticks. One of the Riot cops tries to pull Fox off of Dr. Silver but he is not complying so the other three begin to beat on Fox with their nightsticks. It's complete pandemonium in the ring.

Roger Coughlin: "Now that was a great match even if "Fox" got robbed!"

Richard Riley: "Robbed! He was beating a man with a chair and then he hit the referee."

Roger Coughlin: "And what's wrong with that?"

Richard Riley: "I really can't wait for Wayne to get back so I don't have to deal with you. Cyris would be preferable to you."

Roger Coughlin: "Speaking of Wayne, how is he doing?"

Richard Riley: "That's nice of you to ask. He's doing a little better under the circumstances."

Roger Coughlin: "That's good. I bought him some nice CRYSTAL. I'll bet that should cheer him up."

Richard Riley: "You're disgusting! Let's get to the ring before I have to choke you!"

 "2 of Amerikazs Most Wanted" by 2 Pac begins to play as Da Playa comes out to a good cheer from the fans. He is wearing an "Elite from the Street" T-shirt and looks very confident as he makes his way down to the ring. He climbs into the ring, climbs one of the turnbuckle and raises his arms.

The music changes to "Judgement Day" by Method Man as the new EWA Cruiserweight champion "The Deadly Method" Sean Foster comes out to a loud cheer from the fans. Foster holds up the EWA Cruiserweight strap as his tag team partner, Natural Born Killah comes out next to him. The two men move down to the ring and you can see that DP is arguing with the ref to make NBK go back to the locker room.

The bell ring as the match is under way. Both men circle each other as NBK goes back to the lockers. They lock up and DP sends Foster into the ropes. Foster comes back and DP hits an arm drag. Foster is back up to his feet but he gets hit with a dropkick from DP. Foster slides out of the ring but DP runs across and nails a baseball slide.

DP whips Foster into the ropes and catches him with a tilt-a-whirl side salto suplex. DP jumps up and pumps his arms in the air. He's calling for the DP Drop.

DP picks up Foster and locks him in an inverted headlock. Here comes someone down to the ring. It's Natural Born Killah. Someone is coming down behind him. It's the Tyrant. He runs up and bulldogs NBK down to the concrete and then jumps up onto the apron as DP lifts up Foster for the DP Drop. Tyrant jumps onto the top rope and nails DP with a missile dropkick. The referee calls for the bell.

Winner: Da Playa via DQ but Foster remains champion

NBK pulls himself into the ring and the four men start to battle it out as security comes down to break it up.

Richard Riley: "The Cruiserweight division looks to be heating up. This feud between Foster, Da Play and Tyrant is just starting."

Roger Coughlin: "Wow!"

Richard Riley: "Even you have to admit that if it weren't for Tyrant we'd be seeing another Cruieserweight title change."

Roger Coughlin: "I admit nothing! In fact, if it weren't for Tyrant, DP probably would have gotten his ass kicked."

Richard Riley: "You need to lay of the drugs, man. DP had Foster primes for the DP Drop!"

Roger Coughlin: "You're probably right. Foster is too much of a pussy to kick anyone's ass."

Richard Riley: "This is pointless. It's like debating gun control to the NRA. Let's get on with this show so I can get away from Roger."

"Disposable Heroes" begins playing as Myke Fury makes his way down to the ring. He gets a mixed, but loud, reaction from the crowd. He gets to the ring and hops up onto the ring apron and climbs into the ring. He paces back and forth awaiting the entrance of his opponent.

The building erupts into boos when "Return of the Phantom Stranger" starts to play. Drifter slowly walks down the aisle, accompanied by the rest of Death Row. Drifter is proudly sporting his EWA Tag Team Belt, which he has just one, around his waist. His Death Row stable mates stay in Drifter’s corner as he walks up the ring stairs. He keeps an eye on Fury as he steps through the ropes, making sure he does not attack. When he gets into the ring he takes off the belt and hands it over to his tag team partner Violent Dark, who is outside the ring. Drifter’s music finally fades out as the ref calls over to the timekeeper’s table to ring the bell for the start of the match.

Fury charges toward Drifter, and Drifter telegraphs this move and just sticks his arm out for a clothesline. Fury goes right down, but quickly gets back to his feet. Drifter cracks a smile as he holds his arm up calling Fury out for a test of strength. When Fury puts his arm up and locks hands with Drifter, Drifter immediately thumbs Fury in the eye with his free hand. Fury covers his eye up with his free hand and Drifter wrenches on the arm that he has locked with Fury. He pulls Fury into him and connects with a series of vicious shoulder blocks, which stagger Fury. Drifter releases the hold but doesn’t give him a chance to breathe as he scoops him up for a power slam.

Drifter is now trying to wear down Fury with a rear chin lock. At first it seems to be doing the trick, but just before the ref can check to see if Fury is out, Fury begins to move. Fury struggles back to his feet, and then begins to deliver a series of elbows to the gut of Drifter. Fury repositions himself and pulls Drifter over in a side belly to back suplex. Both men get back to their feet, and again Fury charges toward Drifter. Drifter tries the clothesline again, but Fury anticipated this and ducks behind and jumps up hooking Drifter in a crucifix. Drifter can’t fight the move and falls to the mat.

thrrr… no kick out by Drifter.

Drifter gets to his feet right before Fury does and grabs him and connects a wicked side slam. He gets to his feet and measures Fury up before bouncing off the ropes going for an elbow drop. Fury rolls at the last minute, and Drifter lands hard on the mat. Fury gets up first this time and connects with a standing dropkick onto Drifter. Drifter staggers back and hits the ropes. He bounces off the ropes and Fury nails Drifter with a stiff standing sidekick. Drifter tumbles back, through the ropes and to the floor.

Tyrant hops up onto the ring apron from the Death Row corner. The ref goes right over to him and begins yelling at him to get down. Meanwhile on the other side Dawgbone hops up onto the apron but is met with a stiff forearm from Fury.

On the outside Violent Dark has given Drifter one of the tag team belts. After this Violent Dark makes his way to where Dawgbone is, and he gets the ref’s attention, who has just gotten Tyrant to get off the apron, as he gets up onto the ring apron himself. Fury sees that Drifter is starting to get into the ring and goes over to him. He reaches out to pull Drifter in, but is nailed in the side of the head with the belt. Fury falls to the mat and Drifter enters the ring. He tosses the belt over to Tyrant, before lifting Fury up and hooks him in a pump handle. The ref just turns back to the action as Drifter lifts Fury up for and connects the Social Outcast. He makes the cover and the ref counts.

Winner: Drifter via Social Outcast

Richard Riley: "It looks like the "Highway to Hell" beat out "Fury's Hell" this time. Death Row seems to making a statement tonight1"

Roger Coughlin: "Yeah and that statement is "We're tired of being treated like losers. From now on, the EWA belongs to Death Row."

Richard Riley: "Good to know that you have such an in depth knowledge of DR."

Roger Coughlin: "Oh, it's not that. It's this! [points to a piece of paper] See! "Statement from Death Row." I CAN read!"

Richard Riley: "Gee, you learn something new every week. Hehehe! Moving right along, it could really be Death Row's night if Dawgbone is able to capture the Television title tonight."

Roger Coughlin: "Don't forget that Dawgbone already holds a win over Roadkill."

Richard Riley: "You are correct but it was also a count out win in Roadkill's debut."

Roger Coughlin: "But a win is a win!"

Richard Riley: "In some people's books it is! Let's go to the ring."

 "Murder was the Case" blasts out of the speakers, and Dawgbone comes out to a loud pop, Ripp leading the way on a chain. The music changes to "Beautiful People" and the crowd goes... well, they're still popping, but now the people who were cheering are booing, and the people who were booing are cheering. Roadkill comes down to the ring, waving his hands and holding the title belt.

He slides in, handing the belt to the ref, who shows it to Dawgbone. Dawgbone smiles, points to it, then to him, and Roadkill SLAPS HIM!! Roadkill just slapped Dawgbone in the face! Dawgbone looks at him, and Roadkill SLAPS HIM AGAIN!! Dawgbone is furious, advancing on Roadkill, who slaps him a third time! That did it, Dawgbone lunges and the match is underway! And what a bright move by the champ! Dawgbone is so furious he can't think straight! Roadkill lunges UNDER Dawgbone's outstretched arms and pounds him in the back with doubled up fists!

Dawgbone stagers into the ropes, and is pushed back right into the clothesline from the champ! Roadkill is going for the quick and painful victory, doing some kind of submission hold... he's stepping on Dawgbone's back and pulling his arms back into some kind of surfboard amuerver! The ref is asking Dawgbone if he submits, and Dawgbone is shaking his head back and forth rapidly!! He hooks his foot on the rope, and Roadkill is forced to let go!

Dawgbone rolls away, shrugging his shoulders, and Roadkill goes for a shoulder block... NO! Dawgbone was expecting it! Roadkill hits the corner and Dawgbone hits a nice snap suplex, followed by a kick that staggers Roadkill as he stands!! Roadkill is on the defensive now, and Dawgbone is focused as ever! He hits another snap suplex, then gets him in a chin lock and starts slamming his knee into Roadkill's ribs!! That has GOT to hurt!

The ref is warning Dawgbone, but Dawgbone just pushes him away and goes back to work on the ribs... OH!! Roadkill raked the eyes! Dawgbone staggers back, holding his face, and when he looks up, Roadkill is right there with a HARD left, then a right, then a standing dropkick! Dawgbone didn't even see what hit him!! Roadkill goes for the pin!

1...

2...

3…NO!! No pin, Dawgbone kicked out in time!

Dawgbone tries to roll to his feet, but Roadkill grabs him... POWERBOMB!! WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?! Dawgbone just hit a powerbomb from NOWHERE! Roadkill is stunned as Dawgbone picks him up and whips him into the ropes, hitting a standing clothesline that sends the champ to the mat. Dawgbone picks him up and hits a reverse DDT, then gets to the top rope... what is he doing!! OH!! He hit the Superdawg!! He covers....

1...

2...

3..NO!! The ref is pointing at Dawgbone's hands, indicating.. yes, Dawgbone has a hold of Roadkill's pants!

The ref is indicating no pin, and Dawgbone is furious!! He is yelling at the ref, almost threatening to hit him, when BAM!! Roadkill is pounding into his back, driving him forward, sending the ref OUT OF THE RING!! The ref is out of it, and here comes Death Row! Tyrant, Pimp Daddy J, and Drifter all storm the ring, Drifter with a chair and PDJ with his pimp stick! They converge on the hapless Roadkill, who fights them off as well as he can, but he's no match for the entire Death Row stable! Drifter slams him with a chair while Dawgbone holds him up! And another! Pimp Daddy J winds up with the pimp stick.. OH MY GOD!! Roadkill fell and Dawgbone got brained!

Dawgbone falls while Drifter and Tyrant pull a stunned PDJ back, and start yelling at him for hitting Dawgbone! Roadkill, drives a shoulder into Drifter which knocks the remaining DR members out of the ring, rolls over, then flops back to the mat, but his arm is over Dawgbone's shoulder.. the ref is up...he sees the cover!!

1...

3!!

Winner: Roadkill

DR turns, seeing Roadkill's arm over Dawgbone, just as Dawgbone wakes up. All of them start pounding on the unconscious Roadkill until Security come to get them.

Richard Riley: "That was an exciting match. Quick yet very exciting!"

Roger Coughlin: "If you ask me, Dawgbone got hosed!"

Richard Riley: "Good thing nobody's asking you. Death Row, unfortunately cost their man a chance at victory with that ill-advised shot from PDJ."

Roger Coughlin: "I say he still got hosed!"

Richard Riley: [ignoring Roger]"Okay, folks, next up is one of the most popular wrestlers in the EWA set to defend the North American title against one of our many up and coming stars as well as a member of "Elite from the Street, the man known as the "Grangsta" Jimmy Walker."

Roger Coughlin: "This should be one DYNOMITE match!"

Richard Riley: "You really are an annoying little man. "

 "Hit Em Up" by 2 Pac begins to play throughout the arena. The fans give a moderate cheer for the "Gangsta" Jimmy Walker. Walker is wearing an "Elite from the Street" T-shirt and he slaps hands with the fans as he goes down to the ring.

The lights flash and then a blaze of flames shoots up around the entranceway as "Epic" by Faith No More begins to play. The fans jump to their feet in anticipation of the vastly popular Johnny Sledge. Sledge steps out of the entrance wearing a Corporate Insurrection T-shirt and the EWA North American title strapped around his waist. The fans go ballistic as Sledge holds up his arms and begins to walk to the ring.

The referee calls for the bell and Walker and Sledge circle the ring, not quite ready to lock up. They come together in the center of the ring and tie up. The two men lock up in a Greco-Roman knuckle lock. The two combatants vie for position, neither able to gain the strength advantage. The height and leverage advantage appears to be helping Walker as he bends Sledge backwards. Sledge is bent back into a bridge as Walker continues to apply pressure. Sledge fights back and works himself back to a vertical position, but Walker raises a knee into Sledge's midsection.

He whips Sledge towards the ropes, but Sledge reverses sending Walker into the ropes. Sledge lead frogs over Walker. Walker comes back and Sledge nails a textbook arm drag sending the "Gangsta" sliding out of the ring. Walker paces around the outside as the referee begins to count him out. He gets to seven before Sledge comes over and interrupts the count. Walker climbs back into the ring and charges at Sledge who side steps and nails a drop toehold, sending Walker crashing to the mat.

Walker gets up and looks furious. He bangs his hands on the top ring rope and begins arguing with the referee about tights being pulled. Sledge comes up behind him and connects with a left to the jaw. He whips Walker into the ropes and drops his head expecting Walker to go high. Walker stops short and nails Sledge with a nasty DDT. Walker goes for a cover…

Winner: Johnny Sledge via the Wrecking Ball

Richard Riley: "And a great title defense by Johnny Sledge. This kid is really shown. I don't think Sledge has a shot at winning the Most Underrated Wrestler award this year."

Roger Coughlin: "Why not"

Richard Riley: "Because he'll probably win the wrestler of the year award. Sledge is on fire and has to be the #1 pick to become the next EWA Global Hardcore Champion.

Roger Coughlin: "Please! Give me a break. Sledge is good but not that good! Maybe if he drops tha punk Griffin and gets a serious attitude adjustment he might have a chance but I'm say the man to beat is the guy coming up next."

Richard Riley: "Now why doesn't that surprise me. Grayson is a top star and probably one of the top contenders for the Global strap. He is going to have a tough fight on his hands this week when he takes on Shawn Griffin."

Roger Coughlin: "Nah! Grayson in a laugher. Griffin is a loud mouth punk with limited ability. He'll be lucky to last five minutes."

Richard Riley: "I totally disagree but let's stop yappin about it and let the good fans see for themselves."

Tommy is wearing a shirt that says "The people's Loose Cannon." The fans boo loudly for the once popular but now despised Grayson. Grayson and Honey walk down towards the ring as the fans continue to boo. Grayson gives a kiss to Honey climbing into the cage. Honey waits on the outside with a concerned look on her face.

The bell rings and Griffin runs right at Grayson. Griffin catches his opponent with a clothesline and starts pounding on him with repeated fists. Griffin backs up Grayson into the corner and lays into him with several chops followed by a boot to the midsection. Griffin launches Sledge into the opposite corner and then catches him with a dropkick as he comes out.
