JB : "We're here in front of a sold out crowd in the Hara arena where tonight we have two titles on the line!!"
BH : "We've also got 4 more first round matches in the TV title tournament!!"
JB : "Kurt Walker defends against The Extreme Condo Warrior in a Condo Rules! match for the Cruiserweight title! We'll also see Warpath vs Vincent Giovanni of the Blood Brothers. You've got to wonder about Giovanni's strategy here. Getting on Warpath's bad side hasn't been the smartest thing to do in the past."
BH : "Well Jim, Giovanni claims he is a better brawler than Warpath, and tonight we are going to find out!!"
JB : "We also have, just signed, HWO Destructo defending the heavyweight title against fellow H-Pac member Doomsday. Buck, your comments."
BH : "It's pathetic is what it is. It's just the paper champion being fed his first hand-picked opponent. If any wrestlers are in the back listening to my voice, please: interfere in this match. Please!!"
JB : "That's enough, Buck! Here's the complete card!!"

'Hollywood' Hannibal Lecter vs Executioner
Hannibal took his sweet time getting to the ring, but Executioner was all business. As soon as Hannibal hit the ring, Executioner grabbed him and hoisted him up in a FRONT FALLING SUPLEX!! Hannibal scrambled to his feet, only to run into ANOTHER front falling suplex!! Lecter backed into the corner and Executioner followed him with a MACHINE GUN KNEELIFT that knocked Hannibal to the mat. Hannibal then pulled a desperation move by grabbing Executioner's feet and jerking them out from under him, then quickly laying a PUNCH TO THE GROIN on Executioner! The referee issued a warning, but Hannibal ignored him. Executioner caught Hannibal off-guard in the beginning, but now the US champion was angry. Hannibal pulled Executioner up and landed a DDT, followed by a REVERSE NECKBREAKER! Hannibal then applied THE TENDERIZER, but Executioner squirmed under the bottom rope and the referee pulled Hannibal off. Executioner was bleeding under his mask, but he refused to let it bother him. He grabbed Hannibal and tried for a SUPLEX, but Hannibal blocked the move and lifted Executioner into a K-DRILLER!! Hannibal then dropped down into THE TENDERIZER once again and kept beating Executioner until the referee counted 4. The Pantheon was on it's way to the ring, but when Hannibal stood up, the referee dropped to check on Executioner and called for the bell.
Hannibal d. Executioner at 5:02 via KO (Tenderizer CRITICAL)
Rick Idol and Scorpion hit the ring first, followed by Onslaught. Hannibal took out Scorpion with a clothesline, but Rick Idol clipped his knee and he went down hard. The H-pac was mysteriously absent while the Pantheon put the boots to Hannibal, the beating culminating with a DEVASTATOR on the H-pac leader before the rest of his group finally arrived to drive the Pantheon away.
TV Title Tournament Round 1
This one was quick and brutal. Nomad and Scorpion both came into this match with the intention of ripping their opponent apart. Nomad controlled early, landing several technical takedowns such as FIREMAN'S CARRIES and ARM DRAGS, but then Scorpion whipped Nomad to the ropes and caught him with a TILT SLAM!! Socrpion then grabbed Nomad by the throat for a CHOKE SLAM, but Nomad flipped out of it and sent Scorpion sliding across the ring. It was all Nomad from there: he landed his SOLE BUTT COMBO followed by a ROLLING BACK DROP!! He then applied a KAMA-GATAME, the Muta Special submission hold!! Scorpion broke the hold and tried for a TOMBSTONE, but Nomad reversed it into a HEADSCISSORS TAKEOVER!! Nomad then lifted his former friend in a NORTHERN LIGHTS BOMB, and then mounted the turnbuckle. When Scorpion stood, wobbely, Nomad came off and landed a TORNADO DDT!!! The Pantheon watched in shock as Nomad wrapped on the DANGER ZONE and Scorpion tapped out immediately!!
Nomad d. Scorpion at 4:54 via submission (Danger Zone)
(Note : This one really was one-sided, Nomad tore Scorpion apart)
Captian Justice made is debut here in impressive fashion! The pyro exploded, and music blared, and Captian Justice descended from the celing wearing his trademark blue and yellow costume with a bright yellow cape! He took a moment to pose for the screaming fans before being BLASTED from behind by Gangreen!! Justice was bleeding from the back of his head almost immediately as Gangreen pounded him into the corner using his massive bulk. Gangreen choked CJ out with his own cape before tossing it into the crowd. He then whipped CJ to the ropes, but CJ reversed and sent Gangreen into the opposite ropes. When Gangreen came back, CJ grabbed him up in a SIDEWALK SLAM that shook the ring!! Justice then whipped Gangreen into the corner and followed with a CLOTHESLINE that rocked Gangreen back over the top to the floor!! Justice didn't follow Gangreen out, though, and Gangreen rolled back into the ring. CJ grabbed his head and did an Andre-esque COCONUT CRUSH that busted Gangreen open!! Blood was free-flowing now as CJ diplayed his amazing strength by somehow picking Gangreen up and POWERSLAMMING him to the mat!! The fans going wild, CJ moved in for the kill... but instead ran into a Gangreen CHIN CRUSHER that rocked him backwards!! Gangreen followed with a RUNNING CLOTHESLINE that sent both men over the top to the outside!! Mr. Wiggles was going berserk on the outside, pointing to Gangreen's chainsaw and screaming 'Just kill him, dammit! Do it now! NOW!!' Gangreen looked around in confusion, not knwing what to do. Then, he suddenly jumped over the guardrail and ran into the crowd, straight for a cotton candy vender. The vender ran for his life, but Gangreen chased him out of the building. CJ had his first victory!
Justice d. Gangreen at 4:36 via Countout
TV Title Tournament Round 1
As soon as the bell rang, Gangsta ran up to Cletus and nailed a FRANKENSTEINER and held it for the pin! The referee counted 1..2..KICKOUT! Gangsta then began throwing short THROAT CHOPS at Cletus, then grabbed him and delivered a vicious DDT! Gangsta then mounted the top turnbuckle.. but tragedy struck when he tried to jump. His left foot slipped and he landed hard on his right ankle, horribly twisting it. Gangsta fell to the ground in agony, but Cletus saw his chance. He dragged Gangsta out to the middle of the ring and applied the HILLBILLY TWIST on Gangsta's hurt leg!! Gangsta screamed, but he refused to give up!! He held on for close to two full minutes before passing out from the pain. Cletus would advance in the TV tournament!!!
Cletus d. Gangsta at 3:38 via referee stoppage (Hillbilly Twist CRITICAL)
These two brawled around the ring early, throwing stiff kicks and punches at each other and neither back down!! Warpath then suprised Giovanni by grabbing him and taking him over with a SNAP SUPLEX!! Giovanni recovered quickly though and caught the incoming Warpath with a quick kick to the torso that doubled him over followed by an AXE KICK to the head that floored Warpath!! Giovanni pushed Warpath into a sitting position and then DROP KICKED the back of his head! Warpath roared to his feet and landed a vicious 4-KICK COMBINATION on Giovanni that rocked him backwards, then went for a LOBOTOMY KICK.. but Giovanni DUCKED the kick and landed a SPIN KICK of his own that sent Warpath reeling. Giovanni tried to follow up with a JUMPING SPIN KICK, but Warpath ducked under and behind Giovanni. Warpath quickly grabbed Giovanni from behind, lifted and dropped him on his head with a BACK DROP DRIVER! Warpath stood and dusted off his hands afterward, prompting the crowd to boo loudly. Warpath then turned to Giovanni, but the gangster was up and he was angry!! He kicked at Warpath, and when Warpath caught the kick, Giovanni nailed him with a SPINNING BACK BRAIN KICK!!! Giovanni then went for it all.. he quickly lifted Warpath up, setting for his finisher, but Warpath shrugged him off and nailed Giovanni with a thunderous LOBOTOMY KICK that knocked him straight to the mat. Warpath quickly followed with a pin and before Luciano could break it up the referee counted 1..2..3!!
Warpath d. Giovanni at 4:06 via pinfall
TV Title Tournament Round 1
The Blood Brothers, Giovanni and Luciano, were shown watching this match from the audience. The Panthoen was out in force around the ringside area. Both men started out brawling in this one. Idol came in swinging with KNUCKLE ARROWS and TEXAS JABS, and Rebel answered with KNIFE EDGE CHOPS! Idol got the best of his smaller opponent in that exchange and whipped Rebel to the ropes. Idol reared back and flattened Rebel with a STRAIGHT SHOUDA right to the chest!! Not letting up, Idol dragged Rebel to his feet and whipped him into the ropes again. Idol ran in for a JUMPING DDT, but Rebel sidestepped it and grabbed the off-balance Idol in a SIDE SUPLEX!! Idol came back to his feet but Rebel took him back down with a JUMPING NECKBREAKER!! The crowd was fully behind Rebel as he tried to whip Idol to the corner, but Idol reversed it and Rebel was sent to the corner instead. Idol came quickly in and viciously STOMPED Rebel down to the mat! Idol picked Rebel up and bashed his head on the turnbuckle, then grabbed him from behind in a REVERSE DDT! Idol gave the sign that it was over. He set Rebel up for a POWERBOMB, but when he lifted Rebel rolled through the move and fell behind Idol, then jumped and hit Idol with a BACK BULLDOG!! That was when the Blood Brothers began to move toward the ring...
...Then, the referee was pulled out of the ring from behind!! KYLE MAGNUM slid into the ring, carrying his pike!! When Idol stood up, Magnum ran and FLATTENED him with a LARIAT, causing the DQ. Giovanni and Luciano stopped, watching. Rebel quickly cleared out of the way as Magnum put a foot on Idol's throat and was about to stab the pike through him!!! Scorpion, Onslaught and Condo jumped in the ring, but stopped when they saw the position Idol was in. Executioner crept around behind Magnum, his axe ready. The crowd pleaded for Magnum to stop, and it seemed to get through to him. As Executioner entered the ring behind him, Magnum lowered the pike. Executioner raised his axe and swung it down in what would have been a killing blow, but Magnum sensed it at the last second!! He spun and put his pike up to parry the blow!! The pike was snapped in half by the axe, but the blow was stopped!!! Onslaught charged, but Magnum quickly slid out of the ring and left through the fans.
Idol d. Rebel at 6:09 via DQ
TV Title Tournament Round 1
Marty the Mauler's music came on over the PA system, annoucing his and Onslaught's match. Rick Idol stood in the ring and gave his group orders. The entire Pantheon stood guard around the ring during this match to make sure there would be no interference. Marty started out trying to out-wrestle the monster instead of trying to overpower him, and he was successfull. Onslaught would come in and want to grapple and Marty would drop him to the mat with a takedown and lock on a submission hold like the IRON CLAW or TEXAS CLOVERLEAF. Onslaught powered out of them, but it was slowing him down noticably. Onslaught came in expecting more of the same when Marty suddenly switched gears, booting him in the stomach and PILE DRIVED the monster to the mat!! Marty then flew into action, picking Onslaught up and landing a SHOULDER NECKBREAKER followed by ANOTHER PILE DRIVER!! Rick Idol was ripping his hair out on the outside and screaming instructions to Onslaught. Onslaught started shaking like a madman and turned, grabbing Marty around the throat with both hands and LIFTING HIM OFF THE MAT!!! The referee admonished Onslaught but the words fell on deaf ears as the monster SLAMMED Marty down to the mat and continued choking him!!! Onslaught finally released the hold and pulled the choking Mauler to his feet. Lifting him high, Onslaught delivered a BACKBREAKER and then slammed Marty to the mat!! Onslaught lifted Marty into position for a power bomb.. then roared and delivered a THUNDER FIRE POWERBOMB!! The referee counted 1...2...KICKOUT!! Onslaught tried to continue the pounding, but Marty grabbed on of Onslaught's legs and tripped him to the mat. Both men stood up quickly.. Onslaught ran forward with a VADER RUSH, but Marty ducked to the side and when Onslaught turned around, Marty grabbed him by the throat and CHOKE SLAMMED him!!! Marty dragged Onslaught to his feet and tried to lift him up, but Onslaught pushed him backwards into the turnbuckle.. then, getting a running start, Onslaught tried his STONEWALL, the corner Vader attack, but Marty once again ducked behind Onslaught and when the monster turned Marty kicked him in the stomach and hoisted him up in position for the EASY-3!! Marty then dropped Onslaught in the Easy-3 and Onslaught's head hit all three turnbuckles on the way down!! The referee counted 1...2...3!! Marty advances in the tournament!
Marty d. Onslaught at 6:29 via pinfall (Easy-3)
Cruiserweight Title Match, Condo Rules!
The Pantheon accompanied Condo to ringside because of last week's events, while Walker was accompanied by his dojo students as usual but with one important difference: one of the new trainess was at least 7' tall and close to 500 pounds!! Both men went back and forth on this one early on, trading punches and kicks, until Waker landed a DDT that dropped Condo!! Walker picked Condo up and whipped him to the ropes, catching him with a SPIN KICK/SWEEP combination on the rebound!! Condo crawled into the corner, and when Walker followed, Condo rolled over and BLASTED the champion with a pair of BRASS KNUCKLES he had pulled from somewhere!! Condo called for a chair, which Rick Idol was happy to provide. When Walker stood, Condo SMASHED the chair over his head! Walker lay prone on the mat while Condo jumped to the top turnbuckle. A second later, Condo came off with a DOUBLE FOOT STOMP right to the champion's lower back!! Condo then shook his thing for JADE, who was once again in the front row to watch the action. Walker had started to recover while Condo was posing. Condo turned back to Walker, and Walker ran in with a 4-KICK RUSH that knocked Condo halfway across the ring!! Both men were down, trying to catch their breath.
Walker's large dojo student had began to stack steel chairs on the outside of the ring. Rick Idol saw what might be coming and took the Pantheon over to the other side of the ring to 'discuss' it with him when the H-Pac, led by Hannibal Lecter weilding a WARHAMMER came running down the isle!! THe Pantheon and the H-Pac were soon brawling all over the ringside area!! Walker was standing with his back to the ropes, and Condo charged!! but Walker ducked and BACK BODY DROPPED him over the top near the stack of chairs. The huge dojo student then produced a bottle of lighter fluid and SET THE CHAIRS ON FIRE!! He grabbed the downed Condo, but Kurt Walker saw what was happening and grabbed the arena mic.
Walker : "Hey, no, no, don't do that, to hell with that gimmicky bulls*it."
Walker looked down at his student, and a second later...
Walker : "Ahh, screw it! PLANT HIS ASS!!!"
The large student grinned, grabbed Condo and RUNNING DOCTOR BOMBED him onto the stack of burning chairs!!!
Walker : "Hey Rick Idol...............this is just an example of what's going to happen to you! You can't duck me forever...............and the longer I have to wait.........THE MORE VICIOUS THE ASS KICKING IS GOING TO GET!!"
The dojo trainee then rolled Condo back into the ring and pulled two tables out from under the ring. Walker discarded the mic, but in the confusion no one saw MICHEAL LUCIANO and VINCE GIOVANNI enter the ring from near the timekeeper's table!! Giovanni BLASTED Walker with a JUMPING SPIN KICK while Luciano unfolded a chair and set it up in the ring. Giovanni stood Walker up while Luciano came from behind and landed a BRAIN SCRAMBLER onto the unfolded chair!!! Both the Blood Brothers then left back through the crowd. A voice boomed from the PA system, and the spotlight shined up into the executive balcony to reveal ANTONIO MAZARINI, surrounded by men in black and holding a mic.
Mazarini : "One week from now, the Blood Brothers will be a step closer to owning the EFW. With the Tv Tournament firmly within our grasp and Michael Luciano holding the cruiserweight title, there will be no contenders. There will be no survivors. All will be silenced."
The Panthon and H-Pac had battled their way to the back, leaving the large dojo trainee to STACK TWO TABLES up on the outside of the ring. Condo was the first to recover, he grabbed Walker and DANGEROUS DDT'D him on the steel chair!! Condo stood, then rolled forward and grabbed Kurt Walker in the UNCLE CONDO!!! Walker looked to be totally unconcious. The referee grabbed his arm and it dropped ONCE..................it dropped TWICE.............................................but it DIDN'T DROP A THIRD TIME!!! Walker wouldn't give up. Eventually Condo got tired and released the hold, only to stomp Walker down further. Condo then mounted the turnbuckle again. He jumped, but Walker caught him with a KICK TO THE STOMACH on the way down!! Walker then grabbed the doubled over Condo and set him for a PUMP-HANDLE SLAM.... he lifted Condo onto his shoulder and then dropped him into a MICHINOKU DRIVER, the move he calls GREETINGS FROM THE ONE MAN MAFIA!!!! The crowd expoded upon seeing the new move!! The exhausted Walker fell on top of Condo, and waited for the count... but pinfalls don't count under Condo Rules! Walker pounded the mat in frustration. He then looked at his large student and told him to set the tables on FIRE. Walker stood and went over to lean on the turnbuckle while his student complied with his order. Condo slowly began to stir behind Walker. When the tables were flaming, Walker went back over to Condo and lifted him up... some instinct in Condo must have screamed at him, because he immediatly reached up and grabbed Walker around the neck, delivering the STONE COLD KILLER on the champion!!! It was then that Condo noticed the stack of tables on the outside of the ring. He picked Walker up, dragged him to the corner and set him on the top turnbuckle. Condo the climbed up, but he himself almost fell off before he could set up correctly. He then set Walker up for a TOP ROPE TOMBSTONE, but instead of jumping into the ring, he jumped to the OUTSIDE and TOMBSTONED WALKER THROUGH THE STACK OF TABLES!!! The crowd went berserk at seeing this amazing move!! Neither man was moving. The referee began to count them both down... 1.....
2....
3...
4...
5...
But then the bell rang!! The referee and fans looked around in confusion.... and during the count, the Condo Rules 10-minute time limit had expired!!! The fans began chanting '5 MORE MINUTES!' but both Walker and Condo were out cold.
TIME LIMIT DRAW
(Actual results: Match #1 : Condo d. Walker at 5:41 via kataha-jime; Match #2: Walker d. Condo at 5:46 via surfboard. Both matches were very, VERY close)
HWO Destructo (c) vs Doomsday
World Title Match
JB : "What an amazing night we've had so far, fans! I'm being told by the guys in the back that the H-Pac and Pantheon were finally broken up by security. The HWO is down here now at ringside, supposedly as security."
BH : "If that's not total bulls*it I don't know what is."
JB : "Watch your mouth, Buck! Well, the bell has rung and we are underway.... both men look a little leery here to start out... a lockup, no, Doomsday has ducked under the ropes... both men back to center ring now.... still no lockups...."
BH : "This is stupid."
JB : "STILL no action here, both men are stalling.... FINALLY a lockup!! Destructo gets a thumb into the eye of Doomsday... what the hell? Doomsday just collapsed to the mat!! HWO Destructo is acting suprised..."
BH : "I told you total bulls--"
JB : "Destructo is going for the cover here.... 1....2... Doomsday kicks out?? Huh? Doomsday is up now.. oh, wait, I see...."
BH : "Yeah, it's HWO Maiden time."
JB : "HWo Destructo is lifting Doomsday into the HWO Maiden.. Doomsday taps out before the move is even totally applied. The crowd is in angry and throwing trash at the ring. What a joke."
BH : "The H-pac is mocking everyone who ever held that belt by doing this. Someone has to get that belt off of HWO Destructo."
HWO Destructo d. Doomsday at 1:31 via submission
(At the end of this one, The Pantheon stormed out of the locker room to attack the HWO, but the HWO had already grabbed the belt and fled through the crowd. Mr. Wiggles and his group where no where to be found)
JB : "Well, we've got Marty the Mauler, Cletus, Nomad and Rick Idol in the next round of the tournament, and issues have heated up between the Panthon and the H-Pac!! For Buck Hammerstien and the entire production crew, I'm Jim BIggins saying good night everyone!!!!!"
