JB : "Hello fans, and welcome to the FIRST edition of EFW! I'm Jim Biggins
along side Buck Hammerstien and folks, we've got one hell of a card for
you tonight. The undercard is great on it's own, but it is overshadowed
by the main event: A cage match between the two biggest factions in the
EFW as the Vigilantes' Nomad takes on the RWO's SychoOCJ!
BH : "Just to give you some idea, folks, we've got an EXPLODING RING

JB : "Let's get down to ringside for our first match!!"
Apocalypse vs Johnny Homicide
This match would be fast paced from the start. Both men traded
the advantage in the beginning, with quick dropkicks and takedowns. Homicide
would live up to his name, however, when both men were standing on the
floor. He snuck a chair shot in behind the referee's back that almost knocked
Apocalypse out cold. Homicide rolled Apocalypse back in the ring and began
to give him a stiff beating. Apocalypse would have a short come-back near
the 3:30 mark, landing a standing side kick that knocked Homicide over
the top rope, but he could not sustain it long as Homicide tripped him
and crotched him on the ring post. Homicide went for the cover at this
point, but only got a two count. Frustrated, Homicide tried to whip Apocalypse
into the buckle, but Apocalypse reversed, sending Homicide face-first into
the corner. As Homicide backed out of the corner, dazed, Apocalypse followed
with a drop kick to the back of the head, sending Homicide's face crashing
into the top buckle. Seeing Homicide dazed on the mat, Apocalypse quickly
climbed the ropes and hit a huge leg drop off the top which earned him
the 3 count.
RESULT:
Apocalypse d. Johnny Homicide at 4:26 via pinfall
Prodigy vs Sweet Daddy
Sweet Daddy would enter the ring here, oozing confidence, only
to be kicked in the head by Prodigy. As a result the match stayed in Prodigy's
favor early on, Prodigy using his extensive knowledge of submission wrestling
to keep Sweet Daddy on the mat. He was able to injure the right arm of
Sweet Daddy, and Sweet Daddy would have given in right there if the ropes
had not been close. Prodigy made a mistake and lost the advantage when
he went to the top ropes for an elbow drop. Sweet Daddy moved and Prodigy
crashed to the mat. Sweet Daddy was all business from here on out, working
Prodigy over with stomps and kicks, and using little technical skill. Daddy
tried a lariat and ended up hurting himself more than Prodigy because of
his injured arm. Prodigy then tried to come back, going again for the right
arm, but instead ran into a DDT. Sweet Daddy was able to frankenstiener
Prodigy, and just to make his point stick landed a top rope knee drop.
Sweet Daddy then nailed the drained Prodigy with a Daddy-Plex for the 1-2-3.
RESULT:
Sweet Daddy defeated Prodigy at 5m 50s via pinfall (The Daddy-Plex)
Sgt. Stevie Wonder vs Devastation
The Sarge was a house of fire in this one. He entered the ring
and immediately jumped Devastation, sending him to the mat in a flurry
of punches and kicks. He sent Devastation to the ropes and caught him with
a DDT. Devastation would come back and lay some shots in, but it was like
Wonder couldn't be stopped. Wonder landed a top rope elbow drop, followed
by a pile driver. Picking Devastation up, he landed an inverted atomic
drop, then a lariat. Devastation lay on the mat, apparently half dead,
and Wonder faced the crowd, giving them his trademark head swivel. Devastation,
however, was UP behind Wonder! When Wonder turned around, Devastation rolled
him up in a small package! Wonder, stunned, failed to kick out before the
3, giving Devastation the win! Afterwards, Devastation jumped right up
and walked out, showing that he was not as hurt as he had led everyone
to believe.
RESULT: Devastation d. Sgt. Stevie Wonder at 4:40 via pinfall
The Navy Seals vs Shadow/Rebel
Shadow and Rebel are two great singles wrestlers, but as they would
find out here, it takes more than that to be a tag team contender. The
match started out Nick vs Shadow. Shadow gained the advantage early on
with stiff kicks and tremendous speed, but Grundle showed his tag team
experience by luring Shadow into his corner where he and Demo Dick began
to double team him. Double suplexes, quick tags, and dirty tricks were
used by the Seals to keep Shadow down in their corner. They lost the advantage
when Rebel, fed up with following the rules and watching his partner get
beat down, ran across the ring and drop kicked Marcinko over the top rope!
Shadow crawled over to the corner, looking for the tag... Grundle tried
to stop him, but it was too late! Shadow made the tag, and Rebel came into
the ring like a cyclone, tearing the Navy Seals apart. Grundle grabbed
the referee, begging him for help... but it was a ruse. Demo Dick Marcinko
entered the ring behind the referee's back and slammed Rebel with a steel
chair. When Marcinko was done, Grundle released the ref and made the cover.
The beaten Shadow was not fast enough to stop the ref before he counted
3 and gave victory to the Navy Seals.
RESULT:
The Navy Seals d. Shadow/Rebel at 10:38
Xtreme Gangsta vs Weehawk
EXPLODING RING DEATHMATCH
The ropes were replaced with barbed wire, the corners wired with
small explosives and the ring set to explode at the 10 minute mark for
this one. Weehawk came to the ring to Dr. Dre and Ice Cube's 'Natural Born
Killaz' and was assaulted as soon as he hit the ring by Xtreme Gangsta.
Inside the first minute both men were bleeding heavily, Gangsta was on
the receiving end of a rope burn on the barbed wire and Weehawk got tangled
up in the top and second ropes. Gangsta would remove Weehawk's mask, only
to find him wearing a barbed wire crown underneath. Weehawk used the crown
as a weapon as he would repeatedly head butt Gangsta. Weehawk went for
a version of the Harlem Side Kick, but it was ducked by Gangsta, causing
Weehawk to land crotch-first on the top rope. Gangsta then managed to tie
Weehawk's head in the bottom and middle ropes and repeatedly stomp it.
Weehawk got free and produced a pair of wire cutters from his trunks. He
cut down the top rope and both men used it as a whip to flog the other.
Gangsta choked Weehawk from behind with the wire, but Weehawk kicked backwards
and hit Gangsta below the belt. Weehawk took the rope and wrapped it around
his boot. He then whipped the still stunned Gangsta into the exploding
buckle. The explosion sent him flying forward, right into a Weehawk Yakuza
Kick, which sent Gangsta back into the buckle and into another explosion.
When the smoke cleared, Xtreme Gangsta was unconscious on the floor.
RESULT: Weehawk d. Xtreme Gangsta at 5:11 via KO
Marty the Mauler vs Vermin
POWER BOMB DEATHMATCH
The rules for this one state that in order to win, you must knock
your opponent out with a power bomb. No DQ, no countouts. Vermin and Marty
both came to the ring touting steel chairs, but Marty was the first to
put his to use, breaking it over Vermin's head as he came into the ring.
Vermin was unfazed, however, and smashed his chair over Marty's head, busting
him open. This match was a complete brawl from start to finish, with no
technical moves being used by either man. Vermin held the advantage for
most of this match because of his sheer size, hitting Marty with short
clotheslines, back breakers and even a back spin kick. The action spilled
out into the ringside area, where Vermin pulled up the mats, attempting
to 187 Powerbomb Marty on the exposed concrete. Marty showed amazing strength,
though, because he flipped Vermin over his back! Marty then grabbed a section
of guardrail and slammed it into Vermin's head before rolling him back
in the ring. Marty would then go for his Eazy 3 crucifix power bomb, but
he couldn't lift Vermin up, and ended up getting hit with a western lariat
from Vermin. Vermin then took to the air, landing a body splash on the
downed Mauler. Vermin then managed hit Marty with a non-187 power bomb,
but when the referee checked the Mauler was still conscious and the match
was ordered to continue. Vermin then set Marty up next to the ropes, got
a running start and clothesline him over the top, right on to the area
where he had removed the mats earlier in the match. Marty, however, landed
on his feet on the outside. Vermin turned his back, giving the sign for
the 187, while Marty climbed onto the ring apron behind him. Reaching back,
he grabbed Vermin by the arms and jumped off the apron. The added weight
and leverage of the fall made it possible for Marty to execute the Easy
3 power bomb! Vermin landed on the exposed concrete floor. The referee
checked him and ruled him unable to continue, giving the victory to the
bloody and battered Mauler.
RESULT:
Marty the Mauler d. Vermin at 5:06 via KO

RING ANNOUNCER : "Ladies and gentlemen,

("Highway to the Danger Zone" comes on
and the fans go berserk as their hero Nomad makes his entrance into the
arena, wearing one half of the tag team titles. He walks through the cage
door and takes his place in the ring, holding his hands high for the fans.
The RWO theme comes on to sparse cheers
and loud boos as SychoOCJ comes out. He stands in the isleway, taking in
all of the boos with a smile, then walks to the ring and into the cage.)

JB : "SYCHOOCJ has tapped out, Nomad has one the bout!!"
RESULT:
Nomad d. SychoOCJ at 10:03 via submission (The Danger Zone)
(The cage begins to lift over the two
combatants. Suddenly, the Vicious Alliance storms the ring!! The cage lowers
after them, trapping SychoOCJ and Nomad inside with the VA! Nomad and Sycho
OCJ back up to the center of the ring, away from the VA... and back into
each other! They turn and give each other a look... and shake hands!!!
Nomad and SychoOCJ then charge the VA, Nomad to Destructo and Apocalypse
and OCJ to Devastation and Corruption!! Even with the two on one odds,
Nomad and SychoOCJ hold their own in the ring, which stuns the VA! Devastation
gives a hand signal to the arena rafters, and the cage lifts up. The VA
exit through the crowd, and members of the Vigilantes and RWO sprint to
ringside to back up their respective members. Both teams are at a stand-off,
not knowing what to expect. Finally, Nomad extends his hand. The crowd
goes wild, and OCJ shakes it. Nomad holds up OCJ's hand for all to see.
Suddenly, Vermin, bandaged from his earlier
match, comes storming through the entranceway in street clothes. He has
his tag title belt in one hand and a sword in the other. He approaches
the ring, behind Nomad and SychoOCJ. He enters the ring and slaps Nomad
and OCJ's hands apart. He slams the tag title belt down on the mat in front
of him and points the sword at the RWO, seemingly as a warning. Nomad looks
stunned, and Vermin begins screaming at him.
Vermin : "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!?
This puke is the enemy!! He kidnapped your F*^%ING woman! Are you stupid?!"
Nomad : "It's none of your business what
I do, big man. Keep your nose out of this."
Vermin : "BULLS**T, this *IS* my business!!
I'm supposed to team with you and you're out here shaking hands with a
bunch of free roaming garbage!!"
Eazy-T : "Watch your mouth, Vermin. The
RWO is the best thing in wrestling, and Nomad knows that. We ain't garbage."
Vermin : (Turns to Eazy-T) : "Shut up,
punk, or I'll call Bo out here."
Eazy-T : "What the F**&?!?"
(Eazy takes a swing at Vermin. Vermin
swings his sword, causing the RWO to scatter. SychoOCJ takes Vermin's legs
out from behind, Eazy grabs the sword and the RWO begin stomping Vermin
down. Nomad looks at Vermin, then at the RWO, then exits the ring, Vigilantes
in tow. Weehawk eventually runs down with a barbed wire whip and runs the
RWO off, but the damage has been done. Vermin is left laying in the ring.
