Before I start the show, I just wanted to let the followers know that this will be the last episode of ECW Epics that I will be writing. As of next week, Kevin Canny will be the new writer for the show. I wish him all the best and I hope he has a smooth transition into fantasy writing. I know that he will do the show proud.

Now, let's get into ECW Epics!

This week on ECW Epics:

MVP and Christian will be hosting the first ever joint V.I.Peep Show. All the participants of the Extreme Elimination Chamber this Sunday at Victory Road will be invited, but what will unfold?

Booker T and R-Truth have a tag team match against The Tag Team. Can they look past their differences leading into the PPV?

The other participants of the Strange Bedfellows match at Victory Road will all be involved in two separate preview matches.

Match One: Booker T & R-Truth vs. The Tag Team (Kendrick & London)

R-Truth and Booker T are mouthing off to each other as the bell rings. London takes the opportunity to attack R-Truth from behind and he knocks him to the mat. London follows up with multiple stomps.

London quickly climbs up the turnbuckles and goes for a Shooting Star. R-Truth lifts his knees to his chest and London falls off him in excruciating pain. R-Truth gets to his feet and mounts an offense.

R-Truth hits a running leg drop onto London's throat, quickly followed by a pin. 1... 2... Interference by Kendrick.

R-Truth gets to his feet first and lines London up for a scissors kick. Truth runs the ropes and lifts his leg when London counters with a low blow while Kendrick distracts the ref. Truth falls to his knees while clutching at his groin.

London tags in Kendrick. Kendrick connects with a dropkick to Truth's face, drawing blood. Kendrick wears Truth down in a camel clutch hold. Truth is about to fade out but gets a sudden burst of energy and struggles to break the hold.

Truth delivers a few elbows to Kendrick's ribs, which makes him break the hold. Truth runs the ropes and hits Kendrick with a corkscrew flying elbow. While Kendrick is on the ground Truth crawls towards his corner.

Booker has his hand out in anticipation of a tag. Just as R-Truth gets within an inch of Booker's hand, Booker jumps off the ring apron and holds his hands as he starts chuckling. R-Truth has a look of shock on his face as Kendrick goes for a roll-up pin. 1... 2... 3!

Winners: The Tag Team (Kendrick & London)

After the match Booker gets into the ring and beats down on Truth with a steel chair. Booker keeps going until he wears himself out and drops the chair onto the canvas. Booker walks to the back while receiving some huge heat.

Segment #2: Backstage in Heyman's Office

Paul Heyman is sitting at his desk in his office when there's a loud ruckus outside. As Heyman gets up there's several loud knocks on the door. Heyman opens the door to see several members of the ECW Epics roster arguing amongst themselves.

Heyman:
What's going on here!? Why are you bothering me?

Chavo Guerrero:
We all want to have matches tonight. I've put my body on the line week after week and I still haven't been rewarded for it. I want to have my chance to shine, tonight!

Heyman:
Do the rest of you feel that way?

The rest of the group collectively speak up in support and nodding their heads.

Heyman:
Alright, here's what I'll do. Tonight there will be a (counts the superstars) 10 man over the top rope battle royal. But here's the catch. The first three superstars to get eliminated will leave ECW Epics forever, without question.

If you have a problem with that, then you can all thank your friend Chavo here.

Heyman closes his door as the other wrestlers all glare at Chavo and advance on him.

Segment #3: The Hart Dynasty Backstage

We cross to the Hart Dynasty's locker room. We see Kidd, Smith, and both Neidhart's talking to each other when a loud scream is heard.

Jim Neidhart:
What the hell was that?

At that moment we see Chavo Guerrero run past the open doorway and continue down the hallway. Neidhart sticks his head into the hall to see what's happening when an angry mob of wrestlers run by, chasing Chavo.

The Hart Dynasty all exchange looks and shrug their shoulders.

Jim Neidhart:
Anyway, as I was saying, what's the plan for your non title match against Beer Money and ODB tonight?

Tyson Kidd:
Plan? We don't need a plan! We're going to go in there and kick some butt!

Jim Neidhart:
You do that and your opponents will rip you apart. Those guys aren't rookies, they're seasoned veterans. You need to stick to some sort of plan if you want to even have a chance of winning.

Natalya Neidhart:
I've got an idea...

The group huddle together as we cross back to ringside

Match Two: Rey Mysterio vs. Tomko vs. Mr. Kennedy vs. Kofi Kingston (Strange Bedfellows Preview)

Display_image

Kingston gets backed into a corner by Tomko, but ducks under an arm as Tomko lunges towards him. Kingston follows up with a dropkick to Tomko's back, sending him head first into the top turnbuckle.

Mysterio and Kennedy are going at it, and they end up locking together. Kennedy throws him to the ground in a snap suplex and stands over him taunting.

Kingston turns around and cops a knee lift to the face from Kennedy. Kingston reels backwards, but recovers as Kennedy walks towards him. Kingston hits a high dropkick and starts running around Kennedy with a lot of energy. Kingston runs the ropes and stops in front of Kennedy to taunt him.

Kingston/Crowd:
Boom! Boom! Boom!

Kingston delivers the double leg drop and goes for a pin. 1... 2... Kick out by Kennedy. Both men stagger to their feet and continue to trade blows. Kingston gets the upper hand and drops Kennedy with a russian legsweep.

Tomko grabs Mysterio and lifts him up in a two handed chokeslam. Kingston takes out Tomko's leg and Mysterio counters the chokeslam hold into a West Coast Pop onto the canvas.

Kingston hits Trouble In Paradise on Tomko, who falls unconscious onto the middle rope. Mysterio sees the position that Tomko is in and hits the 619.

Simultaneously, Kennedy gets to his feet and hits a Mic Check on Kingston. Mysterio springboards off the top rope and hits a dropsault on Kennedy, finishing up on Tomko and goes for the pin. 1... 2... 3!

Winner: Rey Mysterio

Match Three: 10 Man Battle Royal (Loser Leaves ECW)

Display_image

Kane, Chavo Guerrero, Raven, Homicide, Hernandez, Carlito, Primo, Curt Hawkins, Zack Ryder, and Tajiri are ready to go as the bell rings.

Everyone goes straight after Chavo as payback for getting them into this match. Chavo gets pounded by various punches and kicks, and he's lifted into the air and thrown over the top rope. Somehow Chavo manages to grasp the top rope and stops himself from being eliminated.

All the other competitors break away into their own fights. Hawkins & Ryder are trying to eliminate Kane, but without much luck. LAX is mixing it up with the Colons. Hernandez has Primo in a Border Toss hold, but Carlito comes over and makes the save.

Kane's rage is building as Hawkins & Ryder continue to try to eliminate him. Kane clutches both of their throats and lifts them in the air with ahuge amount of strength. Kane throws both of the men over the top rope with a double chokeslam!!!

Raven and Tajiri are alternating punches and elbows as Chavo comes over to help Tajiri get rid of the bigger man. Kane also aides them in an effort to eliminate Raven. Raven's balancing precariously on the top rope as all the other competitors come over and join in. Raven is eventually pushed onto the floor below.

LAX and The Colons turn on each other once again. The Colons wear down LAX, who are now leaning on the ring ropes. The Colons run the ropes and go to deliver clotheslines to LAX in unison. LAX pick The Colons up at the last second and throw them both over the top.

The only guys left in the ring are now Kane, Chavo, LAX, and Tajiri. The unlikely alliance of Kane, Chavo, and Tajiri choose to take out LAX next. With the odds being two against three, LAX has little chance and end up on the floor.

Kane, Tajiri, and Chavo circle the ring while staring off at each other. Kane and Chavo team up on Tajiri and ultimately get him out of the ring. Kane delivers a huge elbow to Chavo and follows up with a big boot, sending Chavo over the top rope.

Winner: Kane
Leaving ECW Epics: Curt Hawkins, Zack Ryder, and Raven.

Match Four: Shelton Benjamin vs. Sabu vs. Abyss vs. Rhyno (Strange Bedfellows Preview)

Display_image

As soon as the match starts, Rhyno goes for the gore on Benjamin, but Benjamin jumps split-legged over him and Rhyno ends up taking out the referee. Sabu goes to the outside and grabs a steel chair.

Benjamin and Abyss start brawling in the ring. Benjamin goes for a superkick, but it's countered into a huge Black Hole Slam. Rhyno then comes out of nowhere and hits Abyss with a Rhyno Driver.

Sabu enters the ring and attacks Rhyno with the chair until he drops to the ground in anguish. Sabu sets the chair up in the middle of the ring and runs the ropes. He jumps off the chair, onto the top rope, and balances himself, about to attempt a moonsault.

In that one moment of hesitation, Benjamin performs a vertical leap onto the top rope behind Sabu and hits a belly to back suplex, FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE TOP ROPE, ON TOP OF RHYNO!!!

Nobody's moving in the ring. Sabu eventually crawls to the corner and pulls himself up the turnbuckles, where he rests to get his breath back. Rhyno and Abyss are the next to get up. They see each other and go on the attack.

Rhyno gores Abyss into the corner turnbuckles, where Sabu is resting. Abyss and Sabu collapse in a heap in the corner. As Rhyno turns around, Shelton immediately hits a Paydirt and goes for the pin. The referee recovers and makes the count. 1... 2... 3!

Winner: Shelton Benjamin

Segment #4: Backstage Interview With Batista

Display_image

The new ECW Epics backstage correspondent, Josh Mathews, is about to talk to Batista

Mathews:
Last week we saw the brutal attack you received at the hands of Rhyno and Tomko. Are you going to be fit for the Extreme Elimination Chamber at Victory Road?

Batista:
It's not me that I'm thinking about. When I finally get my hands on Christian I am going to HURT him. The fact that we are going to be surrounded by two miles of chain will only help me.

Josh Mathews:
Going into Victory Road, you have a clear advantage over Christian because you have been in Elimination Chambers before, but he hasn't. Do you think that will play a part during your match?

Batista:
He's no slouch, I'll give him that. When you have been in the chamber for a long time it can take a huge toll on your body. I know how to manage that, and that will be the key to winning the ECW Epics Championship belt.

Josh Mathews:
Can you shed some light on what weapon you'll be taking into the chamber?

A wry grin comes across Batista's face.

Batista:
If you put me in a chamber with 5 other guys, you know they are going to come out the other end in a world of pain. If you give me a weapon, they should say their prayers.

Batista walks off with Josh Mathews looking on.

Match Five: The Hart Dynasty w/Jim Neidhart vs. Beer Money Inc & ODB (Non-Title Match)

Display_image

Natalya and ODB elect themselves to start the match.

The rage is unleashed from both of them and it's just an all out cat fight. They keep going until the ref has to physically separate them. The girls walk to their corners and they each tag in a partner.

Robert Roode and Tyson Kidd are now the legal people in the match. Kidd runs at Roode, but he gets hit by a spinebuster. Roode then guides Kidd to his feet and hits him with a Roode Bomb. Jim Neidhart can see that the Harts are losing, so he decides to take matters into his own hands.

Jim Neidhart walks around to Beer Money's corner of the ring while the ref isn't looking. He then starts assaulting James Storm. The referee sees what happened and calls for the bell.

Winner: Beer Money Inc & ODB by DQ

After the match, the assault continues. With four against three, the team of Beer Money and ODB are soon trying to defend themselves from on the floor. Hart Dynasty connect with multiple chair shots until they are satisfied. They celebrate while walking up the ramp.

Segment #5: The V.I.Peep Show

Display_image

MVP and Christian are both in the ring as we come back from the back.

MVP:
For the first time ever, we bring you the V-I-Peep Show!

(Big cheer from the crowd)

Christian:
Now, I’ve heard some rumblings that you people, you hypocrites, are accusing me of taking advantage of our assistant GM Tiffany for my own benefit. You low-lives are not fit to even speak about “The Instant Classic”!

(Big heat from the crowd for Christian)

MVP:
Hang on there, man! These people are our supporters! You’re nothing without them. Show some respect!

MVP and Christian are nose to nose, talking trash when MVP steps back and holds the microphone to his mouth.

MVP:
Let’s save this for Sunday, shall we? I don’t want to get your blood on my suit.

I want to introduce our guests for tonight. Please give a warm welcome to Tommy Dreamer, Rob Van Dam, and your ECW Epics Champion, Mick Foley!

Dreamer, RVD, and Foley come to the ring, one at a time, with each of them getting decent pops from the crowd.

Foley:
Mrs. Foley’s baby boy is walking into the chamber match the champion, and he’s gonna walk out with the title belt still around his waist. BANG! BANG!

(Big cheer from the crowd)

Dreamer:
You've got it all ass backwards, Mick. I've paid my dues over my 20+ career, and I WILL win the ECW Epics Championship in front of the Philadelphia crowd!

RVD:
You guys can talk it up all you want, but at the end of the day, I think I know who will be the new champion.

RVD/Crowd:
Rob! Van! Dam!

Christian:
Are you guys all delusional? Mick, you're washed up. Dreamer, I don't know where to start with you. RVD, why don't you go back to smoking weed?

All the men in the ring start brawling around the ring.

Batista’s music hits all of a sudden and he walks to the ring heavily bandaged and with a noticeable limp after the beat down from last week. All the men in the ring stop their bickering and watch "The Animal" approach the ring.

RVD and MVP grab Christian so he can't escape the ring. Batista climbs through the ropes and his stare seems to pierce straight through Christian's soul. Batista goes to town, hitting lefts and rights, elbow after elbow, and finishes with a big spear.

Batista's music plays as he celebrates in the ring with RVD and MVP as the screen fades to black.
