Clips of Blizzard come alive on the screen. Freeze frames of the matches and the commotion. Virus, Kirt Kinson, and a ref trapped inside a burning cage as the Underlord watches on, then President Micheal Merrix smiling as he watches. Another freeze frame of Vice crucifying Jaigo to the side of a steel cage with barbed wire. Finally the freeze frames finish with Shawn Twilight nailing Executioner with a Hero's Suplex. The scene fades to black.....

Then reopens high above the Civic Center in Hartford, Connetticut. The camera aimed at the rafters where an ominous cell hangs above the ring and the screaming fans. "If You Want Blood You Got It" by AC/DC starts to play over the arena speakers and fireworks begin to shoot off from the ringposts and the entranceway. The lights have dimmed and the fans are screaming and holding signs. The camera pans over all of this and settles down on our announcers for the evening. The "Voice of the BEW" Marty Scott and Elisha Johnson. Doug Torres noticeably absent. The lights come up, the pyros die down, and the music stops. The camera rests right in front of the two announcers who are seated behind their broadcast table.

Marty Scott: Ladies and gentlemen welcome to another edition of Friday Night Blitz and Happy New Year! We're proud to be coming to you from the great city of Hartford and boy do we have an exciting night of action for you! With me is the lovely Elisha Johnson in place of Doug this week. Welcome to Blitz Elisha.

Elisha Johnson: Thanks Marty it's great to be here tonight for what promises to be the greatest night of action yet in the BEW. Lucky for me Doug didn't show because I wouldn't want to miss this! The BEW is ready to roll into 1999 so hang on tight!

Marty: As is our belief here at Big East Wrestling, let's cut to the action as Craig Connors is standing in the ring.

The camera switches to Craig who's standing in center-ring, mic in hand.

Craig Connors: BEW fans here in Hartford welcome to Friday Night Blitz on the first day of the new year! This match is the first match of the Hardcore title tourney. For this tourney to crown our first Hardcore champion, there are no disqualifications or countouts and there must be a winner. Introducing the first participant in this matchup. He hails from Mongolia and is accompanied by his manager, Life. He is a newcomer to the BEW. I give you, the Green Bastard!

"Ruthless Bastard" by the Bastards starts to play and from the curtains comes Life. Behind him the Green Bastard comes out, the usual mask on his face. He's got a 4 x 4 in hand and steps through the ropes. Life waits on the outside. Connors raises the mic to his mouth again.

Craig Connors: And his opponent, he comes out of L.A., California and is also a newcomer to the BEW. He is accompanied by his manager, the Zodiac. Here is Gemini!

"Another One Bites The Dust" by Queen starts up and the fans start to boo, some cheer, as Gemini comes out with the Zodiac. Gemini slides in under the bottom rope and does a few streches on the ropes. The Zodiac gives him some last minute advice as the bell rings and Craig gets out of the ring.

Marty: Oh my and we're off as the Bastard charges Gemini and floors him with that 4 x 4! And he lays into the fallen Gemini again with that piece of lumber! Gemini in trouble here!

Elisha: The Green Bastard drops that 4 x 4 and he whips Gemini into the ropes, and a huge lariat nearly take Gemini's head off. The Bastard is going to the outside now and what's that? He's got a chair from under the ring and he's getting back into the ring.

Marty: Stalking Gemini, Bastard holds that chair up, and Gemini with a quick kick to the gut and he kips up and tackles the Bastard to the mat! Gemini laying in with rights and lefts. He grabs the Bastard up by his hair and takes him up and down with a suplex! And he slaps a reverse chinlock on.

Elisha: Life is moving over here towards the Zodiac ever so slowly. Gemini has finally released the hold and he puts a few boots into Bastard's back. Gemini's got that chair dropped by the Bastard earlier and he's opening it up in the middle of the ring. Now going back to his fallen opponent he sends the Bastard into the ropes.....

Marty:Drop Toe Hold onto that open chair! The Bastard is busted open. Gemini climbs up to that second buckle, and comes off with an elbow!

Elisha: But the Bastard rolls out of the way just in time! His mask is covered with blood and he's holding his face. That blood may be affecting his vision. The Bastard feeling his way around, Gemini getting back to his feet, and they lock up.

Marty: The Bastard slaps on a headlock into a running bulldog! He helps Gemini back to his feet and nails him with an uppercut knocking him back and through the ropes.

Elisha: Bastard goes flying out through the ropes with a suicide dive and he and Gemini are both layed out here on the arena floor! Life has something in his hand, and oh my! He just threw powder into the eyes of the fallenGemini! Here comes the Zodiac and he and Life are throwing punches! The Bastard is up quickly and with a stungun onto the railing, Gemini is left clutching his throat! The ref has broken up the managers and Life is yelling across to Zodiac, some rather derogatory things.

Marty: The Bastard tosses Gemini over the railing and he quickly follows into the sea of fans. Security trying to hold them back from the two wrestlers. Gemini slams the Bastard onto some empty chairs! And he drops a leg across his chest!

Elisha: Fans we have to take a commercial break, don't change that dial because we'll be right back as Gemini and the Green Bastard are brawling in the crowd!

Marty: And they're still brawling folks and welcome back to Blitz on the first day of 1999!

Elisha: These two are both looking to prove themselves to the BEW and Gemini whips the Bastard right into a wall! Ouch!

Marty: The Bastard comes flying back and into the arms of Gemini, who squares away a beautiful German Suplex right onto the concrete! The Bastard looks to be out of it and Gemini covers.

Elisha: The ref scurries over.

Marty: And the Bastard is still alive in this match. Gemini grabs him by the hair, and lowblow! The Bastard drops Gemini and he's got a chair, and wraps it into Gemini's head! And the Bastard dragging Gemini back to ringside. And we have word that Jon Clark is busy in the back. Let's get to a camera back there.

The scene switches from the match to the lockeroom of Minion. Jon Clark has a can of gasoline in hand. He runs at Minion and slaps him upside the head with the gasoline can. He starts to spread the gasoline throughout the lockeroom and quickly jogs out of the room. Clark lights a match and the room is ablaze. Minion crawls out of the flames quickly. Clark runs off saying "He wants hardcore action!? He's got it!"

Marty: My god Clark means buisness and I hope Minion is alright for his match with Extreme Warrior later tonight.

Elisha: Back in the match, the Bastard tosses Gemini over the railing and nails him with a kick to the ribs here on the ringside mats. The Bastard has some montior chords and he's choking the life out of Gemini! There's the Zodiac with a rake to the back to break that up. The Bastard looks up with his bloodied mask and the Zodiac is backing up.

Marty: The Zodiac may have done something real foolish, Gemini is layed out holding his throat. Zodiac backing up, and he turns and Life throws a smokebomb onto the floor! And smoke is surrounding the ringside area and I can't see a thing!

Elisha: Neither can I Marty.

***CRASH***

Marty: What was that! I can see Zodiac beating Life with a cane, and wait, there's the Bastard layed out! Gemini drops that 4 x 4 brought out here by the Bastard and covers. The smoke rising finally.

Craig Connors: Ladies and gentlemen the winner of this match, and a man who has advanced in the Hardcore title tourney, Gemini!

Marty: And Gemini has advanced in the tournament and he's getting out of here rather quickly with the Zodiac, Life saying something to the Bastard. Looks like their plan backfired. Craig is still in the ring and we're ready for our second Hardcore title tourney match. Jon Clark has taken a ringside seat to watch the action by the way.

Craig Connors: Fans let's continue the action here on Friday Night Blitz with the second match of the Hardcore title tourney. The first participant is already in the ring. He is a newcomer in his first BEW match. A man of mystery, he is Minion!

A small mixed reaction for Minion who waits in his corner for his opponent. Looking a bit shaken from the earlier attack by Jon Clark.

Craig Connors: And his opponent, a member of the Masters of Armageddon. He stands at six feet one inches and weighs 276 pounds, Extreme Warrior!

"Sad But True" by Metallica plays and the fans begin to boo as the M.o.A. member makes his way to the ring from behind the curtain in the usual black boots and jeans. He walks up the ringsteps and gets into his corner. Craig, as has become custom, exits and the bell rings.

Marty: Minion walks out cockily to the center of the ring and EW is circling him. And a quick kick to the gut by EW and a jawbreaker! EW putting the boots to Minion and he sends him into the buckles! EW charges in quickly not wasting a second and flies in with a body spalsh. A knee to the gut and sends Minion back out with a beatiful vertical suplex!

Elisha: Extreme Warrior is impressing me here tonight. And these fans, whether they like his stable alignment or not, agree with me. He's really wrestling a fluid match and he sends Minion to the ropes, but Minion leapfrogs over, and comes back with a spinning heel kick of his own, rocking EW.

Marty: Jon Clark is watching this match from his ringside seat, he has to take on Vice later tonight in what should be a great match. Of course we still have Jaigo and Shawn Twilight going at it. And the main event, World champ Virus going after Tank Fury who's been quiet surprisingly.

Minion with the upperhand takes EW to the corner and puts his head into the buckles repeatedly finishing it off with a DDT and a cover.

1...

Marty: And EW kicks out easily and Minion slams his hands to the mat in frustration. He lifts EW up and hits him with a body slam. He goes to the buckles.

Elisha: Minion points to the sky and comes off with a body splash! But EW lifts his knees and Minion is left curling up!

EW gets up slowly and collects his thoughts leaning against the ropes, he finally meets the rising Minion with a running knee to the head. He quickly goes outside the ring to get a table while Minion is stunned. EW opens it up and gets back into the ring. Minion spears him down and the two begin to scrap it out. Minion gets the upperhand and puts a solid spinning neckbreaker on EW. He covers.

1...
2...

Elisha: But EW still has life in him! Minion even more frustrated at this second kickout and he yells to the ref. The ref warning him about it and EW has taken the opportunity to catch his breath in the corner.

Marty: Wise move. Minion turning his attention back to EW now and he walks over to the corner and grabs EW up by the hair. He goes for a whip to the far ropes, but EW reverses!

Elisha: And comes in right after with a clothesline knocking Minion out and onto that table! The table still in one piece though, nothing precut here in the BEW!

Marty: EW sees this and he's going up those buckles. He's on the top. The fans on their feet. He leaps, 360 degree spin, and an elbow into the chest of Minion and both men fly off and into the railing!

Elisha: Shades of the legendary Ice with that Nothern Lights Elbow! The cover by EW.

1...

Marty: And Extreme Warrior has defeated Minion and racks up his first BEW win. And he advances to take on the winner of the still unsigned fourth tournament match.

Craig Connors: Ladies and gentlemen the winner of this match, Extreme Warrior!

Suddenly Jon Clark hops the railing and with a 2 x 4 hits EW across the back and turns to flatten Minion with it. Out of the back comes Taylor Smith who charges the ring, Clark rolls out under the bottom rope and escapes into the crowd. Smith helps EW up as "Sad But True" begins to play. The fans cheer at another good match. Minion departs afterwards getting a nice round of applause for his efforts. Just as he gets through the curtains, "You've Got Another Thing Coming" by Judas Priest starts to play and the lights dim. The scene fades to a commercial break.

The scene comes back to Blitz where the music still plays and the lights are still out. The fans give a mixed reaction for the owner and president of the BEW, Micheal Merrix. Most of the Virus fans throw soda cups and other objects at him as he comes from out of the back. The spotlight hits him and he smiles and waves to the crowd. A gray, three piece suit on. The gold flashing as usual. By his side is Doug Torres in a "BEW" denim coat and some black jeans. He's carrying a mic. The two get into the ring, Torres holding the ropes open for his boss. The lights come back up and the music dies down.

Doug "Vampire Hunter" Torres: Thank you fans for that warm reception for the man behind all of this. Mr. Micheal Merrix! Hi Marty, hi Elisha. I see you're having a good time as usual. Hopefully I won't be back over there anytime soon. Boss, you have something to say?

-BEW Owner and President Micheal Merrix: Indeed I do Doug. First, I want to welcome you into my little circle of associates. Now I'm ecstatic at another great turnout for Blitz. This once again proves why Big East Wrestling, my brainchild, is on top of the world! When I came back at Blizzard after the BEW took a hiatus, I said that I was taking it straight to the top, what did I do? I did just that. And the BEW is still on the rise. Want some proof? I went out and signed former World champ, the Underlord!

The fans pop at this.

-BEW Owner and President Micheal Merrix: Then I went out and with the power at my disposal, the power resulting from hard work. I signed 4, count'em, 4 time MWWF World champ, Maniac! And all of this is the reason why our "great" World champ, Virus, oh excuse me, the Venerial Disease....

Most fans boo as President Merrix says this. A handful cheer.

-BEW Owner and President Micheal Merrix: .....all of these actions should cause or "great" World champ to stop worrying about pushing me around for no reason, and start worrying about who's aiming to take that gold from him. I'm busy you understand. For example, Tuesday Terror kicks off this Tuesday, live from the Igloo in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. And I don't have time to play games with the little Flu Boy. Which brings me to another point. Since it's obvious two guys need opponents, and pester me about signing them a match. I'll announce right here the main event for the debut of Terror. This Tuesday, the fourth and final match of the Hardcore title tourney will be Devastator taking on Maniac! And then Extreme Warrior will take on the winner of that match at next week's Blitz.

Fans erupt into cheers as this is announced.

-BEW Owner and President Micheal Merrix: Thank you fans, and be sure to tune in Tuesday for Terror, right here on the Magee Network! Now if you'll excuse me I have buisness to attend to. See you all later tonight I'm sure.

The sounds of Judas Priest fill the arena again as Doug holds the ropes open for President Merrix and the two depart up the ramp and through the curtains. The scene fades to a commercial break.

The scene comes back up on Craig Connors in place to announce the next competitors of the evening. He raises the mic to his mouth.

Craig Connors: Ladies and gentlemen here in Hartford, this next matchup is a nontitle matchup and is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, coming from Sunset Beach, California, he is accompanied by Tybalt and Sidney, he stands at six feet two inches and weighs 231 pounds, he is a living legend, a man with countless titles, and a man who has crushed the competition. He is the BEW "Pacific" champion, he is Shawn Twilight!

"Not For You" by Pearl Jam starts to play as Shawn comes out with Tybalt at one side, and Sidney in hand on the other side. He gets into the ring with Tybalt, Sidney waits on the outside. Craig speaks again.

Craig Connors: And his opponent, he comes out of Asbury Park, New Jersey. He is the holder of the Atlantic title. He is the Extreme Icon. Ladies and gentlemen, Jaigo!

"Natural Born Killas" by Dr. Dre and Ice Cube starts to play. Some fans start to sing along. Jaigo pops out from behind the curtains with an intense look on his face, the Atlantic title around his waist. He walks down the rampway and fans reach over the railing to pat him on the back. He hops into the ring, staring at Twilight and Tybalt. He flicks them off and the crowd cheers. Craig ducks out at this expecting a fight. Just as the bell would ring Jaigo produces a mic.

Jaigo: Hey Twilight, Happy F'n New Year!

As if on cue the cell hanging from the rafters begins to lower, Jaigo throws the mic down, and Twilight tells Tybalt to get out of the ring which he does, Shawn then takes the U.S. title from around his waist and throws it down. The bell rings and Jaigo charges at Twilight with an insegurie kick which he hits solidly. Twilight falls through the ropes and to the floor. Jaigo follows.

Marty: And the cage is lowering still! Jaigo is choking Shawn and the cage is coming down on them, Jaigo jumps out of the way and the cage is coming down on Shawn!

Elisha: And Shawn moves his head out of the way just in time! Jaigo looks mad, his plan foiled and he's up on those ropes. And off with an Asai Moonsault and Shawn is layed out! Jaigo drops a knee to his forehead and drags him to his feet by the hair.

Marty: Jaigo slams Shawn headfirst into the cage and now he's grating his face on the cage! Jaigo turns him and goes for a suplex, but Shawn reverses and sends Jaigo up and down along the cage with a suplex of his own! Shawn takes Jaigo and puts him face first into the ring apron! And he has that U.S. title belt and puts it across the back of Jaigo's head and Jaigo slumps down to the mats.

Shawn gets onto the apron and walks back a few steps, then charges forward with a graceful shooting star press flattening Jaigo who was holding his head on the mats. Shawn rolls him into the ring under the bottom rope and stops to take a breather. The ref asking him to get in the ring. Twilight ignores him and finally as Jaigo is getting to his feet he gets into the ring.

Elisha: Shawn meets Jaigo with a lockup and Jaigo caught in a headlock, and sends Shawn off and into the ropes, Shawn comes back in and Jaigo with a hiptoss, no Shawn reverses into a hiptoss of his own.

Marty: Whoa Jaigo lands on his feet somehow and pops up and puts Shawn out on his back with a dropkick!

Elisha: Jaigo runs the ropes and somersault splash! A cover!

1...
2...

Marty: And at the last second Twilight kicked out. Jaigo looking impressive against the solid veteran. He lifts Shawn up and goes for a hurricarana, but Shawn sends him into the mat with a powerbomb! A cover by Twilight this time!

1...
2...

Marty: No! Jaigo kicked out. Shawn sends Jaigo into the buckles, and Jaigo stumbles out, Shawn catches him into a belly-to-belly suplex! Shawn not going for the cover, instead he's going to the outside to take another breather?! The ref demanding he continue this match and now he's sliding in under the bottom rope. Jaigo on one knee holding the side of his head and Twilight goes to grab him, but is met by a poke to the eye! And Jaigo slaps an armdrag takedown on Twilight!

Elisha: Jaigo lifts Twilight up and a devastating Tombstone Piledriver from Jaigo!

The fans let out an "Ohhhhh" and Jaigo gives Shawn a kick to the head before lifting him back up and throwing him over the top rope. Jaigo stalks over to the ropes and grabs the top rope, to fly over and land on Shawn with a flying cross body block. Jaigo is the first of the two to get up, and slingshots Shawn right into the side of the cage.

Marty: And Shawn is cut open on the forehead and Jaigo is relentless! Jaigo now begins to stomp away at Shawn's knee. Now he slaps on a Texas Clover Leaf! Twilight not giving in though! Jaigo sinching it in harder and Shawn saying "no" just as hard!

A few moments pass and Jaigo releases the hold and grabs Shawn by the chin bringing him to his feet, he swings with a right hand but Shawn blocks and nails a righthand of his own, then begins to chop away, backing Jaigo into the cage where he begins to slam his head off the side, busting the back of Jaigo's head open.

Elisha: Shawn turns Jaigo around and nails a reverse DDT! Shawn going for his U.S. title belt and he has it, and nails Jaigo in the face with it. Jaigo now on the receiving end of a boot across the throat. Shawn goes to bring Jaigo to his feet, but Jaigo traps Shawn in a small package!

1...
2...

Marty: Shawn breaks that and Jaigo heads to the apron, oh my Shawn just pulled down Jaigo's "slightly baggy jeans" making him fall back to the mats!

Elisha: Nice set of buns on Jaigo.....

Marty: And Shawn puts him into the Miser's Grasp! A legendary move and Jaigo has nowhere to go! I think he's passing out and the only other man inside that cage beside Shawn and Jaigo and two cameramen, that being the ref, is checking him.

Elisha: Jaigo is starting to stir! He's trying to find a way out of the Miser's Grasp! Shawn let's go. A cocky grin and he's up onto the apron, Jaigo in tow due to a handful of hair. In the ring now Shawn lays Jaigo up against those buckles, and lays into him with a shoulder, another, and another! And he slaps Jaigo in the face!

Marty: And Jaigo kicks Shawn low and jumps up to that second buckle. He manuveurs behind Shawn and slaps a German Suplex on! Up and over!

1...
2...
3...

Elisha: And there's the bell, I guess Jaigo has beaten Shawn and this is quite the upset! Wait the ref is yelling through the cage to Craig and the timekeeper. Let's here what Craig Connors has to say on this matter.

Craig Connors: Ladies and gentlemen referee Joey Fenkle has declared this match a draw! Both men's shoulders were to the mat thus both were pinned! Marty: A bloodied Shawn Twilight looking on at Craig with his U.S. title in hand and he's smiling to himself I think. And look at Jaigo, he's under the ring and he has a bag of some sort. And Shawn's coming over, and he gets salt in the eyes! Oh my Jaigo isn't done yet!

After throwing the powder into Twilight's eyes blinding him, Jaigo goes under the ring for a second time and takes out several pairs of handcuffs and proceeds to cuff Shawn to the side of the cell, leaving him in an upright position. Jaigo grabs his Atlantic title and heads over to Shawn and cracks him across the face with it. Jaigo drops the belt and goes under the ring for a third time, this time producing a string of barbwire. He turns to the camera and speaks.

Jaigo: Ahh, right where I left it!

Jaigo turns to Shawn and whips him in the face and chest with the barbwire causing him to bleed further. From behind the curtains comes Mikey Firewater with a large group of officials. They hit the ringside area and try to get the cage door open. Mikey gives it a few kicks but the door remains closed. Meanwhile Jaigo grabs up a chair and puts it into Shawn's face. As Mikey finally kicks the door down and gets in to check on Twilight, Jaigo outmanuveurs the other officials and escapes. Mikey yells at them a little while perched over Shawn with Tybalt and Sidney. The scene switches from that chaos to an advertisement for the upcoming, "BEW Wrestling Challenge" video game. And other various commercials.

Marty: Well lucky enough Shawn left under his own power with Sidney and Tybalt. Just alot of blood and cuts, lucky it wasn't worse then that. Mikey Firewater and other officials ran out of here looking for Jaigo.

Elisha: You know that last match's ending is familar to another Shawn Twilight match in the now closed WCIWA. I just can't remember the opponent, except he lost. Guess he was lucky this time, but that's some coincidence. Oh well in any case let's get to the next tourney match, Craig take it away.

Craig Connors: BEW fans here in the arena and at home, it is now time for the third and final tournament match of the evening. This match pits two grave enemies against one another in a match where anything goes. Introducing first, a former World champ, a sworn fighter of the Masters of Armageddon. Coming to the ring.......Jon Clark!

"Happypill" by 16 Volt starts to play and the fans begin to cheer for Jon Clark as he heads to the squared circle. He looks surprised at the warm reception, but it may just be because of who his opponent is.

Craig Connors: And his opponent. The "King O' Extreme", the "Preacher of the Future". He comes to the ring with his followers Ravenne and Taylor Smith. He stands six feet five inches and weighs 256 pounds. Vice!

'Killing In The Name Of" by Rage Against The Machine starts up and the fans turn to one unanimous boo as Vice comes out with his two followers in tow. The fans throw objects at them and Vice gets into the ring where he slumps into the corner, the usual jeans and sweatshirt on. His entourage waits on the outside as the bell rings.

Marty: There's the bell and Vice has risen to his feet. He proceeds slowly to the center of the ring, hops back and with lightning fast motion nails Clark in the chest with a thrust kick! Vice punches him in the face and throws him over the top rope. Vice not wasting time as he follows him out, grabs a chair, and starts to smash Jon into the ground.

Elisha: Vice throws that chair aside and he whips Clark into the railing. And runs in with a roundhouse to the face! Clark is sent reeling. Vice is going for a table and he's opening it up right at the end of the wrestler's entranceway.

Marty: Clark has come to and he charges Vice and hits a forearm to the face, and follows that up with a backdrop onto the mats. He's got a chair now and Vice turns, right into a vicious chairshot from Clark!

Elisha: Clark puts the edge of the chair into Vice's throat and squares away a nicely performed powerbomb. Vice is sprawled out here and Clark lays him out on that table.

Marty: Vice in trouble here in the early going and Clark is in the ring. He hits the ropes and comes sailing over the top rope...to find nothing but an empty table!

Clark hits the table and it cracks a bit, but Clark skids off and onto the steel rampway. Vice goes for a monitor and runs into Clark with it, hitting him in the back of the head. He spits on Clark as he puts an ax-kick into his kidney area causing him to crumble. Vice lifts Clark up by the hair and sends him into the side of the ring. As Clark hits, Vice reaches into the crowd and produces a chair from an unwilling fan. He methodically stalks over to Clark. But instead of hitting him with it. He opens it up. As Vice goes to grab Clark, Clark nails a swift punch to the throat of Vice.

Elisha: Clark again going to Vice's throat and he puts Vice down with a huge running powerslam! He covers.

1...

Marty: Wow Vice kicked out rather quickly from that one. Clark slaps a front facelock on Vice and the ref is down to check.

Elisha: Ahhhhh come on Taylor Smith just kicked Clark in the back causing him to break. Clark turns to confront him and the ref is trying to seperate them. Clark turns from Smith and the ref and back to Vice, and Ravenne is right there, and she kicks Clark in the groin!
