The scene opens up to the Palace at Auburn Hills in Detroit, Michigan. The site of another week of Blitz action. A limo pulls up and out step Storm and Extreme Warrior. As they enter the arena, Maniac runs out from behind the doors, and beats them to the ground with a 2x4. Security rushes out with Mikey Firewater in front. Maniac jogs off leaving the two laid out. The scene switches to the inside of the arena. The lights out, the fireworks blasting, the fans cheering, signs being waved, and "If You Want Blood You Got It" by AC/DC playing over the P.A.. A huge ominous cross hanging above the ring. The lights come back up and the camera shot changes to show Elisha Johnson and a new face seated at their announce position.
Elisha Johnson: Well fans what do you say that we kick this thing off. Fans, first of all I'd like to say goodbye to Marty for a moment, he'll be stepping into the back to make a guest appearence on the web-cast…..and I'd like to cordially introduce you all to BEW's own "Dean", Trevor Rowe. Trevor will be joining us for a match on every card from now on…and fans I think you'll quickly see why this man is called "The Dean" of this sport. Trevor, Welcome aboard!
Trevor Rowe: Thanks Elisha, fans all I can say is that it's truly an honor to be standing here before you LIVE on Blitz bringing you the opening matchup tonight! Elisha, this match has implications that most fans don't quite see right off hand….the winner of this will certainly establish his spot in the rankings for a future title shot, perhaps an Atlantic title shot….the other, well, let's just say that NEITHER guy wants to walk out of this building tonight on the losing side of things. I think that this first one could really set the pace for the rest of the night!
Elisha Johnson: You said it all! Let's quit stalling and take it to the ring for the start of what should be a remarkable night of wrestling!!
Craig Conners: Ladies and Gentlemen….welcome to Buuuuhhhhh-LITZ! (pauses for the immense cheers to die down) This first contest, scheduled for ONE fall….has a 30 minute time limit. Introducing first…
"Turn the Page" by Metallica begins to play across the house speakers…
Craig Conners: From Toronto, Ontario, Canada….weighing in at 279 pounds…
Maniac makes his way through the curtains, massaging one wrist in the palm of his hand with a wickedly solemn look on his face. Craig Conners: The man known as MAAAAAAAAN…IAC!
Maniac hits the ring, rolling under the bottom rope and stepping up onto the second turnbuckle….not motioning to the fans but just looking out into the sea of people….he steps down and relaxes in the corner awaiting the arrival of his opponent.
Elisha Johnson: Well, does he look ready "Dean"?
Trevor "Dean" Rowe: Does he ever….You know, the guy is seriously on a quest for some respect…and he could achieve that and more with a win here tonight…back to the announcer.
Craig Conners: And HIS opponent….(boo's begin to stir up as the sounds of "Torn" by Creed plays) From Phoenix, Arizona….accompanied to the ring by the Extreme Warrior (boo's around the house)…..STOORRRRMM!! (The boo's louden)
Trevor "Dean" Rowe: One thing that's for sure is that they don't like the MoA here in Detriot do they? Sheesh, listen to these fans…You know, I'm sure I'll say this numerous times in my tenure here at BEW, but this company has the best fans in the wrestling industry…
Elisha Johnson: That's right, the Palace has always been a great stomping ground for wrestling…Well "Dean", the ref has completed his prematch-rule run-down so let's see what these two guys can put out.
Maniac and Storm lock up….Maniac shoves hard, sending Storm flying backfirst into the turnbuckles…..Storm rebounds, holding his back and begins to circle Maniac…being very wary.
Trevor "Dean" Rowe: Maniac will have the decided height and weight advantage here…Storm looks to be giving up around 50 pounds or so, maybe more…..He's going to have to use those lightning like reflexes if he hopes to have a chance of taking the big man down here…
Storm and Maniac lock up again, however before they can secure a grasp, Storm goes underneath and ends up with a go-behind on Storm…Maniac looks for his options out and decides to go with a powerful elbow over his shoulder which catches Storm squarely in the jaw….sending him flailing through the ropes and at the feet of Extreme Warrior…the fans cheer for the power move…
Elisha Johnson: Well, like you said he's going to have to learn to hit and run or else he's going to get caught up in Maniac's strength advantage….
Warrior coaxes Storm to get back into the ring and the two go to lock up once more….however this time Storm ducks under again and as Maniac turns around, Storm leaps into the air, catching Maniac around the neck with his two feet…..with Storm's body upside down, he twists his body to gain a little leverage and then rapidly twists the other way, causing Maniac to turn with Storm's body, flipping him over and onto his back in the ring…
Trevor "Dean" Rowe: Oh, Great extension with the leg scissors into a take down….Innovative move there from Storm….He's going to have to follow up on Maniac here and not allow him to establish a vertical base….and he does with a modified camel clutch….pulling back on the chin now….A lot of fans might just focus on the damage being implemented on the chin here, but that lower-lumbar area on Maniac has got to be under excruciating pressure..
Elisha Johnson: Great call there "Dean"…Look at Warrior on the outside…man, he's pounding on that apron, he really wants Storm to put his weight into this move..
Storm cranks back on the manuever…..until the referee calls for a break, as Maniac has reached the ropes. Maniac struggles up to his feet …but Storm is relentless, running to the other ropes and bouncing off …running straight at Maniac……Maniac is ready and dips his shoulder, lifting up…..and sending Storm flying back first to the floor…..Storm lands awkwardly on his knee and grimaces in pain as the fans let out a huge "Ohhh!"
Elisha Johnson: WOAH!!! Great move there from Maniac to avoid the on-rushing Storm, but what a huge crash Storm just took! "Dean", I think Storm might be out of this one already…he can't walk on that leg, no way.
The scene switches fast to the lockeroom of President Merrix's task force. Thug and the Underlord are laid out. Mikey and the Prez walk in, and with a look of anger stare on at the carnage. The scene goes back to the match.
Trevor "Dean" Rowe: Guess Virus has attacked the task force in the back, at least I'd think so. Back in the match, Storm is hurt, I don't really think that's what the fans came to see, but it's great news for Maniac…This match might be cut shorter than we expected!
Maniac looks to have snapped and gets on the apron…Looking to jump off onto Storm, Extreme Warrior runs and jumps in front of Storm to protect him….So Maniac jumps anyways, catching Warrior with a clothesline and having both of them landing atop Storm. Maniac picks up Storm and tosses him into the ring…..he begins to roll back into the ring himself but Warrior grabs him by the wrist and spins him around…..he swings….Maniac blocks it and connects with Warrior on a huge roundhouse right……the fans go nuts….And just as soon as that happened, Maniac turns around and gets plastered by a baseball slide from Storm…the fans react with another huge "OHHH!!"
Elisha Johnson: Storm limps around, wincing hard from his leg injury but trying to put it behind him…he throws Maniac back into the ring, who rolls vulnerably on his back, looking up at the lights….Storm stands on the apron, grabs the ropes and rocks back to get some momentum…then he leaps up onto the top rope and off….with a big leg drop….he covers.
1...
2...
Elisha Johnson: No!
Storm gets up, dragging up Maniac by his neck….he whips Maniac into the corner and Maniac seems to stick like glue. Storm charges in, leaping onto the bottom rope with his bad leg and bringing his other knee up into the gut of Maniac….Maniac slumps down to the mat as Storm quickly leaves the ring and goes up to the top rope…..He stands atop the ropes takes his time to measure Maniac..
Trevor "Dean" Rowe: Storm's really taking his time now…really looking to hit this move big…
Storm leaps off, flipping forward and landing with an elbow across the neck of Maniac….Storm hops up and goes for another pinfall….
1…
2...
Trevor "Dean" Rowe: No. Storm gets to his feet, now seeming pretty confident on his previously injured leg…He tosses Maniac to the ropes and ducks his head for a back body drop….but Maniac catches on and connects with a DDT! Maniac crawls atop for the cover!
1...
2...
Trevor "Dean" Rowe: No!! Maniac struggles to his feet…The referee is checking on Storm….Maniac leans back on the ropes to get a little momentum and starts a run toward Storm….but he goes down quickly face first for some reason..
Elisha Johnson: Extreme Warrior on the outside tripped Maniac up! He tripped him from behind!
Storm gets to his feet and holds both hands above his head for a double ax-handle….but Maniac lunges up and wraps him up in a small package!
1...
2...
3...
Trevor "Dean" Rowe: No!! Woahhhh…VERY contreversial call there….sure looked like he had Storm's shoulders pinned down for the three count on that one….almost seemed as if the referee stalled on the way down!
Elisha Johnson: I certainly saw a hesitation there myself!
Maniac looks at the referee confusingly, but turns his attention back to Storm…he scoops up Storm and plants him with a body slam, then hops over his body and mounts the 2nd rope…dropping a knee across the bridge of Storm's nose….A cover only results in a 2 count….Maniac brings up Storm and tosses him to the corner…..Storm stays in the corner and Maniac charges in…..Storm grabs the top rope and leaps over, onto the apron right at the perfect split second as Maniac comes running in and finds nothing but turnbuckle….Storm punches him in the back of the head, causing Maniac to stumble out into the middle of the ring, dazed…Storm quickly climbs the top rope and the fans know what's coming…..they react with a sense of awe, perparing themselves for Storm's signature move…
Trevor "Dean" Rowe: This could be the prelude! Storm looks to be trying to finish this one with his "Hurricane" manuever!!!
Storm leaps off, looking to find his trademark "Hurricane" huricanrana……Maniac turns to face him…..and wheels backwards.
Elisha Johnson: STORM LANDED ON MANIAC'S KNEE IN AN ATOMIC DROP TYPE MOVE!! THERE'S A KICK IN THE GUT AND OHHHHHHHHH!!!
Trevor "Dean" Rowe: There's that jawbreaker, "The Headhunter!" , "The Headhunter!!" HE CONNECTED! Extreme Warrior on the apron now……SIDE KICK FROM Maniac! He covers Storm!
1!!!...
2!!!...
3!!!!!!...
Ding Ding Ding
Elisha Johnson: He did it! What a finish….talk about your reversals! Wow! It's over! It's over!
Trevor "Dean" Rowe: Fan's, we've got to take a commercial break….when we get back I'll be replaced by BEW regular Marty Scott…fans, thanks for making it a memorable night for myself…I'll see you next week..Elisha, thanks and so long!
Elisha Johnson: See ya next week "Dean"…..
The scene lights up to the Palace At Auburn Hills, thousands of fans cheering as fireworks go off. The lights dimmed. "Who Made Who" by AC/DC starts to blast through the arena's speakers and Virus appears at the top of the ramp with Venus on his arm. They get a mixed reaction from the crowd. They walk down the ramp and Venus gets to close to a fan and he catches a handful of Venus' rear. Venus is in shock as Virus brushes her aside and walks over to the young man who can't be more then 19. He grabs the young man by the throat and tosses him over the guard rail. He begins dragging the young man who is now struggling to get away from the giant monster. He drags him down the ramp and walks up the ring steps while the young man keeps tripping over each step. Venus is right behind him with a smile on her face.
Marty Scott: We're back and Virus looks really upset and I think this young fan was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Elisha Johnson: You're right Marty this guy picked the wrong day the mess with Virus....I mean Venus. But you have to admire the fact that the guy is standing up for his girl.
Marty Scott: You got the hots Virus don't ya?
Elisha Johnson: No............
Virus throws the young man into the turnbuckle, the man leans against the turnbuckles in pain. Virus walks over to the turnbuckle and presses his knee against the mans chest holding him to the turnbuckles. Virus points to the ring announcer and demands the mic or he will be next. Virus grabs the man by the throat again and drags him over toward Venus.
Virus: You think your pretty damn smart.....don't ya....I said don't ya. You know I think I should just kick your ass all around this damn arena. How dare you sexually assult my wife!!!!! Ya think it is cool.....don't tell me....your friends put ya up to this right? Well just fuckin' point them out and I'll kick their ass as well!!!!! Now I think you owe my wife an apology.
The man whimpers a tiny "I'm sorry."
Virus: Oh no you don't I want you on your knees begging my wife for her forgiveness. Now!!!!
The young man who is now starting to cry drops down to his knees after Virus lets go of his throat. He slowly crawls over to Venus.....some of the fans are loving this and yelling for the Poison. He gets on both knees now looking up at Venus.
Fan: Please forgive me Venus!!!!! I am sorry that I touched your buttocks. I know I shouldn't of done what I did but I thought that it would make me look cool to the women who were sitting behind me. Please forgive me!!!!! Please I beg of you to forgive me!!!!!
Virus tosses Venus the mic.
Venus: I accept your apology!!!!!!
Venus throws the mic back to Virus.
Virus: You know I have known my dear wife 5 years now and I've had two children with her. Now let me ask you this ya little bastard. I know that she doesn't forgive you. Do you know why? Cause that damn apology was the biggest piece of bullshit since Merrix brought Underlord into this federation!!!!!
Virus once again grabs the young man's throat but this time he takes him for a ride with a giant chokeslam. He picks up the mic and once again begins to speak.
Virus: Get that piece of trash out of MY ring!!!!! Now it is time to start on the issues that really brought me to the ring. Before that bastard tried to hit on Venus. First issue is Underlord. Let me just say something about the biggest "black magic" piece of trash this side of the BEW. He thought that he would be able to come out here night after night and get away with cheap shotting me with the help of Merrix's goons. But Underlord tonight I proved that old saying "Payback is a bitch!!!!" is fact. I've got news for ya Underlord that was just the beginning. I've got big plans for you Underlord and next Saturday we'll see just who cries momma!!!! As for Merrix and the other taskforce clowns this is just the beginning!!!!! Cause I am going to work my way through every single member of the corporate team until President "Asshole" Merrix decides to get some manhood and have a confrontation with me man to man. Trust me Merrix when this happens you'll know cause it won't verbal it will be physical!!!!!
Some Virus fans start to cheer and chant Virus' name. Others boo loudly.
Virus: As for the fact of you having sent your security team out here night after night when they were not wanted...... Actually scratch that. Speaking of security I said I had a surprise for Underlord and Merrix.
The lights begin to flash on and off repeatedly as "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve blasts through the arena speakers. Then in the shadows a very large figure appears. He begins to slowly walk down the ramp. This monster is exactly 7'5" and almost 400 lbs. He continues down to the ring and steps onto the ring apron. Virus almost seems to have a look of fear on his face as this huge man easily steps over the top rope. The man walks toward Virus as Venus gets out of the ring in fear for her husband. The man raises his arms and crashes them down as four bolts of lightning come out of nowhere and hit all four turnbuckles as the lights come back on. The man walks closer to Virus. President Merrix fans that are in the arena cheer. The monster reaches out his hand.........and holds it there as Virus shakes his hand and puts his lips to the mic.
Virus: Let me introduce you to MY insurance policy The Punisher!!!!! Merrix you think that you can just send your troops into my ring whenever you want don't you? You thought that I was alone in this war!!!!! I have given The Punisher strict orders to destroy each and anyone of your taskforce goons that come down to ringside. Especially if it is your head of security Mr. Firewater!!!! Merrix as you can see this gives me more free time to make YOUR life a living hell. I mean who's going to protect you? Oh by the way you can't do a thing about The Punisher being at ringside. Because as you can see by his contract. Which by the way was lovingly signed by your partner in crime Vice President Ryan Magee right after I had him locked in the Infection in his office, he had no choice as you can see, now it says here that he has a managers license and will have every right to be here at ringside. You want to know the havoc this man can cause? Well go back to the taskforce locker room and look at Underlord and Thug Immortal. They both felt what it is like to fell the The Awakening!!!!! And Merrix if your expecting to put him in a match to test his hardcore abilities and see how much punishment he can take. Just to let you know, I have a managers license as well so I'll be right there to stop your task force goons. Oh yeah I almost forgot. Don't even think of trying to send The Punisher back to the mental institute. Cause if you'll check his records it states me and Venus are his legal guardians. Oh yeah one last thing, me and him will be waiting for you guys cause this time we are ready!!!!!
Virus steps out of the ring and The Punisher is close behind him. The Punisher is keeping his distance and constantly checking out what is happening in every single direction. Virus walks up the rampway with Venus on his arm. The Punisher easily keeps up and continues watching Virus' back by walking through the curtain behind them. The camera turns back toward the announcers table. Elisha and Marty are in shock.
Marty Scott: That was The Punisher. I remember him from the NAEFL he was a real force there. He won their Canadian Championship and Television Championship Titles. Many wrestlers were happy when he left wrestling. But now he is back, this could be a nightmare for the BEW.
Elisha Johnson: I am surprised that Vice President Ryan Magee signed this monster to the BEW. Especially considering the power this unstoppable machine will give Virus.
Marty Scott: Yes you're right Elisha. Folks, we'll be back with more great action, don't go anywhere!
Craig Conners: Ladies and gentlemen, this is a first round matchup in the BEW Hardcore Title Tourney! Introducing first, a newcomer to the BEW. He stands six feet ten inches. And weighs 275 pounds. The master of the Down South Slayer. And two time WiW Intercontinental champion, he is Thug Immortal!
"Omen" by DMX starts to play and Thug steps out from behind the curtains. A small mixed reaction, mostly cheers. He walks the aisle with a bounce in his step, and focus in his eye. He slides in under the bottom rope fast.
Craig Conners: And his opponent, A master of the hardcore style of this sport. The founder of the Guild. The man who is the mentor to BEW Television champion Smokey. Here he is making his return to the BEW after a long absence, here is Jon Prophet!
"Living Dead Girl" by Rob Zombie starts to play as the lights dim. The fans seem baffled for a moment at the new music, then stand to boo as a new look Prophet comes out wearing a black Marilyn Manson T-Shirt, he has his long black hair falling all over his face and shoulders. He's wearing black denim shorts that are torn and tattered. As well as black wrestling boots. As he walks to the ring, his eyes are blood-shot, and they seem to be staring off into space. A roll of barbwire in hand. He taunts a few fans as they jeer him. He looks as always, angry. He stops before getting into the ring and stares down Thug Immortal. Who slides out of the ring and charges at him ferociously.
Elisha Johnson: And these two are fighting already! Lefts and rights! Thug didn't wait for Prophet to get in the ring, he just went right after him. And a backbody drop from Jon sends Thug to the arena floor. Jon puts the boots to him and he grabs a chair, and puts it into Thug's back! He looked a little out of it before, all of sudden he's a madman!
Marty Scott: Boy is Jon looking to show Thug he isn't a hardcore wrestler, attacking him with a chair already. Jon opens that chair up, and a DDT onto the open chair!
Thug hits the floor limply after the DDT and Jon grabs the roll of barbwire he dropped. He drops into the face of the fallen Thug with it. Busting him open. Jon places it across his throat and grinds it into him. Then gets up and goes for a whip to the ring steps. But Thug reverses.
Marty Scott: And the bloodied Thug Immortal sends Jon into those steel steps shoulder first Thug with that roll of barbwire now and he waits for Prophet to get to his feet. He does, and he turns into a clothesline of barbwire from Thug Immortal!
Elisha Johnson: Both men are cut open now. Thug rolls Jon into the ring and he follows quickly.
Thug immediately plants a swift kick into the kidney area of Prophet, who cringes up. Thug picks him up off the mat and sets him up for a suplex, which he lands and follows up with a cover.

Marty Scott: And a kickout from Jon Prophet! Thug is going to need to do more damage if he hopes to keep his opponent down.
Elisha Johnson: Very true Marty. Thug has Prophet up again and drags him to the buckles, he slams his head in, but Jon reverses and now has Thug's head hitting the buckles! One after the other and Jon stops, he turns Thug, a chop to the chest, and he places him on the top.
Marty Scott: Superplex! Prophet with a fast exchange of moves. He slides out of the ring and he's going after that roll of barbwire. What a sadistic man this Jon Prophet is.....hold on folks. I'm getting word from BEW Reporter Sean Wallace in the back, let's get back there to him.
The scene switches from Jon raking Thug's back with the barbwire in the ring, to Sean Wallace in Extreme Warrior's lockeroom. A fight going on already. Maniac throws EW into a group of lockers, and body slams him to the floor. He throws a locker on top of him and starts to trash the place, knocking over tables and throwing things around. He then spray paints on the dressing room wall, "You don't piss off a Maniac!".
Sean Wallace: Folks Maniac has attacked Extreme Warrior, and he's already gotten the win tonight, this man is looking to gain some retribution for past MoA attacks. Devastator has his chance tonight to do even more damage against Vice in the hardcore title tourney. Could the MoA be having problems? Stay tuned to the BEW and find out. Back to you Marty and Elisha.
Marty Scott: Thanks Sean, and what a wildman that Maniac is. And he got a big win tonight. Back in the match Prophet has slapped an Indian Deathlock on Thug after several vicious power moves. Thug not giving in though. He wants the win that's for sure.
Elisha Johnson: And Jon releases. He lifts Thug up and sends him to the ropes, and Thug comes back with a forearm! And he kips up! The fans going nuts!
Marty Scott: Thug with a swinging neckbreaker and he slaps on a front face lock! The fans behind him and that's quite evident.
Moments pass and Jon manages to stay in the match, Thug frustrated lets go of the front facelock and drags Jon to the ropes, he drapes him over them throatfirst and runs the ropes, and flies in crashing onto Jon's back, and choking him on the middle rope. Thug gets off and throws Jon to the floor.
Elisha Johnson: And Thug pulls himself over the top and comes crashing down with a crossbody! He stays on for a cover!

Marty Scott: Kickout! Jon still alive and Thug whips him to the guardrails, and grabs a chair for himself. And puts it into Jon's head. And again. A third shot and he furthers the blood!
Elisha Johnson: And Thug puts the edge of it right into Prophet's throat and sends him to the mats facefirst with a step toe hold. Now going under the ring for something. And he produces a table, he's opening it up, and Jon is rising!
Thug finishes opening the table and Jon is shaking the cobwebs, Thug sees this and runs in with a springboard dropkick. Jon falls back a bit, but still manages to stay on his feet. Thug starts to put the fists into him, until Jon blocks and starts to return with lefts and rights of his own. Finally turning Thug quick and executing a running bulldog onto the open table.
Marty Scott: And a quick exchange and Jon is back on top of things! He and Thug on top of that table. And Jon puts him up and down with a piledriver! Two legs are bent, but the table hasn't broke. Jon has him up again on the incline of the table, and a suplex off the table and to the floor!
Elisha Johnson: And what a reaction from the fans. Jon going after alot of painful moves, trying to wear down his opponent. Both men hurt after that one. Jon is up first, and he quickly brings Thug up by the neck, what strength. And he slams his face into the apron, and rolls him in.
Prophet lays in with a series of fast chops, and steps through the ropes, leaving Thug staggering on his feet. He reaches over and hits the Hellhole, the diamond cutter across the top rope. Thug falls to the mat and doesn't move. Prophet gets in and gives the slit throat sign. And slaps on the Cruel and Unusual Punishment. Thug manages to hold on for two plus minutes, fianlly giving in to the pain and loss of blood as he blacks out. And the ref raises Jon's hand.
Marty Scott: And Jon throws the ref to the mat! What's he doing now?! Prophet is smiling and what an evil look. He's raising his arms to the sky and looks up, that cross is lowering!
The cross lowers until it is laying flat out on the mat. Prophet then drags the unconscious Thug over the cross, and lashes him to the cross with the barbwire roll he brought out earlier. He then puts a sign above his head that reads: "RESERVED FOR SMOKEY" and steps back and raises his arms as the cross is raised up ten feet. Prophet begins laughing maniacly, as security and doctors rush into the ring. As does Mikey Firewater and the Underlord to check on Thug. As this goes on, Prophet slides out and departs through the booing crowd.
Marty Scott: And we're back! What a wild ending to that last match. Very strange, all I can say is.... Only in the BEW!
Elisha Johnson: And Prophet advances in the hardcore title tourney and will face the winner of the Price/Life match this Tuesday.
Marty Scott: And that tournament wraps up at the big pay per view, our second. Slugfest '99 live from Providence, Rhode Island! And what a night that will be. The big question, can the Underlord defeat Virus?
Elisha Johnson: Only time will tell the tale Marty. Craig is ready, let's go to our next matchup.
Craig Conners: Blitz fans this is the next matchup live from Detroit, Michigan! Introducing the first participant of this one fall contest. He is a newcomer to Big East Wrestling, and a man looking to make a name for himself. He is Total Destruction!
