For the followers of ECW Epics, you may think it’s a little strange that this isn’t a slideshow this week. The reason is that I’m running a poll to see how you think the show has been going so far.
If you could please vote and/or leave a comment, I would greatly appreciate it and it would help improve the show in future. Thank you!
"Epic" by Faith No More plays as the pyrotechnics goes off, and the commentators do their introductions.
Striker:
WOW! What a PPV The Bash was, just two days ago, Tazz! Christian and Mick Foley had a heated battle for the ECW championship, but once the dust had settled, the victor stood above his opponent. The new champion is Mick Foley!!!
Tazz:
Not only that, Matt. Rey Mysterio successfully defended his Intercontinental championship for the second time in as many PPVs!
We were also witness to one of the most savage and brutal matches that I have ever seen. The Monsters' Ball match truly lived up to its name, with all five competitors bleeding by the end of the match.
Striker:
I don’t think anyone can doubt that those five brave souls are some of the most extreme in wrestling today, and they proved that ECW’s hardcore roots are still alive and kickin’.
Tazz:
That’s for damn sure! I am proud to say that I am part of this joint venture between not only WWE and TNA, but EC f’n W too!
The sound of a car crash blares throughout the arena as the new ECW Epics champion, Mick Foley, walks to the ring with thousands of cheers from the fans.
Foley climbs into the ring and soaks in the atmosphere. The fans cheer even louder, and a chant erupts at a deafening level.
Crowd:
Foley! Foley! FOLEY! FOLEY!
Foley:
They said that I couldn’t do it. That I was too old. I didn’t have “it” any more. Well look who has it now! (Holds title belt in the air. Crowd cheers). I’m gonna bring integrity back to this championship. I’m also...
Christian comes out to the stage, accompanied by Tomko.
Christian:
You got lucky! I’m the real champion of this show, and everyone knows it!
The crowd starts giving him some small heat.
Christian:
Me and my clan will prove that we are the most dominant force to ever hit WWE or TNA!
Foley looks around the ring, and then shrugs his shoulders.
Foley:
What clan? You and that tattooed freak next to you?
Christian:
I’m glad you asked. Let me introduce to you, and the world, the third member of The Clan.
Rhyno walks out to a small pop from the crowd.
Christian:
Now to the reason I came out here. I’m going to do everything in my power to get back what is rightfully mine. I’m invoking my rematch clause at the next PPV, Victory Road!
Paul Heyman appears on the titantron.
Heyman:
Excuse me!? Are you making up the matches on this show now? No, you’re not, so listen up!
The two of you are going to participate in a match that you haven’t been in before, and always feared you would be a part of. At Victory Road, it’s going to be an EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER!!
Crowd:
Thank you, Paul! Thank you, Paul!
Last week my assistant Tiffany told Batista to prepare for a grueling match. Well tonight the time has come. The winner of the match will qualify to take part in the Extreme Elimination Chamber at Victory Road. Batista will be in a match against an opponent of Christian’s choice, seeing as it is his championship that’ll be on the line. Not just any match by the way, but a steel cage match!
That’s not going to be the only Extreme Elimination Chamber qualifier tonight. Next up, we will see a triple threat match to determine who takes another one of the spots. It will be R-Truth vs. Booker T vs. ECW’s newest acquisition, Rob Van Dam!
Crowd cheers ecstatically.
Also, the combatants from the Monsters Ball match at The Bash won’t be wrestling on the show tonight. Those valiant warriors pushed themselves to their limits, so I’m rewarding them with a week off to heal their wounds.
