(The EFW opening then plays, after which the shot changes inside the EFW Arena. The camera pans over the audience, showing several signs dedicated to wrestlers. The camera pans down onto the two announcers, Jim Biggins and Buck Hammerstien)


JB : "Welcome to EFW Massacre, fans! I don't know about you, Buck, but in the opinion of this reporter that Chance of a Lifetime 4 far exceeded all expectations."

BH : "I tell you, I was shocked to see Nomad return, let alone "Mr. Massacre" Kyle Magnum or Vermin."

JB : "Have we got a card lined up for you tonight, fans. Nomad will be making his Massacre re-debut tonight in an 8-man tag match that has all the makings of a real war."

BH : "Speaking of wars, let's not forget Magnum and Vermin will be hooking it up tonight in a four way dance that also includes Bo Abobo and Jack Furlong. You want to talk about wars, hoo boy."

JB : "We'll also see the Dods vs the Justice League as Jack Dod tries to make Paul Savage pay for his remarks about Jane, and some light heavyweight action as well. Here's the complete card!"

Goliath vs The HWO Mark




JB : "Without further ado, let's get right to the action!"

The HWO Mark vs Goliath
The Mark approached this match with his usual amount of confidence, but it was quickly apparent to everyone in the arena that no amount of confidence was going to enable him to win this match. Genesis escorted Goliath to the ring and told Goliath to make an example of his opponent. Goliath obeyed and destroyed The Mark, pitching him around the ring like he would a bag of flour. One particular chest slap knocked The Mark all the way to the floor and left Goliath's handprint on his chest, and the print just about covered his entire chest. The Mark's only offense came as a desperation punch to the groin about three minutes in, but that was all he could muster, he simply could not damage the giant. After playing around with him for a few more minutes, Genesis told Goliath 'Bury him!' and Goliath did just that, picking him up and POWERSLAMMING him with 'The Mountain Falls'. All you could see of The Mark was one foot, and it wasn't moving. This bout was, quite literally at times, a squash.
SPLAT!
RESULT:
Goliath d. The HWO Mark (Mountain Falls - Pinfall) at 6:53
Sanosuke Imori vs "Lucky" Chance O'Daire
Sanosuke started off this match by keeping Chance off-balance. Chance whipped him to the corner, but Sano cyclone whipped him to the canvas before he could follow up. Sano dodged a punch and kicked Chance, then slammed his head into the top turnbuckle. Sano then used a fireman's carry takedown, causing Chance to stand up and call for a test of strength. Sano pretended to agree, only to quickly drop toe hold Chance down. Chance didn't like that and responded with a hard slam and putting on a half boston crab. Sano made it to the bottom rope quickly, and gave Chance a slam of his own, following up with a senton that crushed his opponent down. Chance reversed an irish whip, hit the opposite ropes and nailed Sano with a pounding clothesline that bounced him off the canvas. Sano refused to give up the momentum, though - he side suplexed Chance to the mat, then pulled him up and front suplexed him back where he started! Chance came right back, grabbing Sano in a headlock and delivering two quick punches. Sano grabbed Chance for another suplex, but the bigger man elbowed him off and then dropped an elbow to the back of his neck. Now in control, Chance pressed with an atomic drop, the measured Sano and spin kicked him to the canvas. Chance pushed Sano into the ropes and caught him with another hard clothesline when he came back, then dropped to the mat and applied a short arm scissors to catch a breather. Back to his feet, Sano managed another front suplex on Chance, following up with another senton. Sano continued the suplex clinic with a double-armlock suplex, then grabbed the dazed Chance from behind and gave him a uranage suplex!!
Uranage
Chance came roaring back with a lightning fast flurry of punches, then grabbed Sano's leg and locked on a reverse crucifix knee hold. Sano grabbed the bottom rope almost immediately, causing referee Stu Lumpkin to break the hold. Chance threw a standing side kick at Sano, but Sano jumped OVER the kick and spinning drop kicked Chance in the chest! Sano tried to press the attack, but his move attempt was countered into an ace crusher from Chance, who then grabbed Sano and bulldogged him to the mat. Another application of the half crab followed as Chance started imposing his greater size on Sano. Chance struck with another ace crusher, then punched Sano out of an attempted kick and whipped him to the ropes. When he returned, Chance tossed him straight up in the air!
Air Sano!
Chance made the cover, but Sano was out quickly. Chance's attempt at an irish whip was reversed, and Sano caught him with a satelite head scissors on the return! A jackknife cover by Sano got two. Sano started to drop kick Chance again only to be caught as he had barely left the ground with a back spin kick to the torso! Chance went for the cover after this and got the first near fall of the match! Chance kept the attack going with an inverted atomic drop, then whipped Sano into the corner buckles hard enough to knock him down. Chance knocked him back to the mat with a standing side kick when he stood up. Chance pulled Sano to his feet, feeling victory near, only to have Sano hook him up and EXPLODER him over to the mat! Sano quickly hauled Chance back up, gave him a uranage, then ANOTHER EXPLODER! Sano then hooked Chance up in a half-nelso and TIGER SUPLEX '85'd him over into a cover, but it was in the ropes and was broken. The fans applauded this beautiful string of offense!
Four hard hits in a row!
Chance came back strong, using an inverted atmoic drop followed by a kneedrop to try to regain the upper hand. A backslide pin attempt landed Sano's feet in the ropes and was broken up, but Chance struck again with a martial arts combo, multiple blows to the torso ending with a kick to the stomach that knocked Sano to the mat gasping for air. Sano rolled to the outside to catch his breath, and in what may have been a rookie mistake, Chance allowed him that and stayed in the ring. Chance charged once Sano came back inside, but Sano caught his right arm, then his left, and double underhook front suplexed him over to the mat. Chance bull rushed Sano back into the corner, but Sano hooked him up and delivered a THIRD EXPLODER!! Chance was out of gas and dazed - Sano quickly pulled him up and executed a second Tiger Suplex '85, this one out of the ropes, for the win!
TIGAH SUPREX!!
RESULT:
Imori d. O'Daire (Tiger Suplex '85 - Pinfall) at 11:30
Mylandah Arkar Walder vs Jane Dod

The beginning of this match was marked by the sudden appearence of "Mr. Massacre" Kyle Magnum, who brought a chair out to ringside to oversee the match.

Mylandah charged straight at Jane, unable to restrain herself, but met with a thrust to the throat. She kicked at Jane, who caught the leg and dragon screw leg whipped her to the canvas. Jane grabbed Mylandah's foot, trying to take her down, but Mylandah pushed her to the mat and drove a pair of knees into her ribs. Jane struck back with a pair of drop toe holds, trying to keep Mylandah off-balance. Mylandah proved her educated feet next, scissor kicking Jane in the back of the head and then catching her with a yakuza kick when she came back from an irish whip. Jane struck back with a punch, then grabbed Mylandah's arm and snapped the elbow over her shoulder. Mylandah came back at her with a scissor kick, but Jane slammed her to the mat, sat her up and kicked her right between the shoulder blades! Mylandah got up mad, and began kicking the living hell out of Jane: several straight middle kick rushes were followed by a hell thrust to the throat that dropped Jane to the canvas. Jane struck back with a punch, then grabbed Mylandah by the thoat and strangled her down! Jane waited till her opponent stood and poked Mylandah in the eyes, then hit the ropes to hit a running attack, but Magnum pulled down the top rope and she tumbled to the floor! Referee Stu Lumpkin checked on Mylandah, who couldn't see, and that gave Magnum all the time he needed to lift the dazed Jane and GRAVEDIGGER her on the concrete floor!! Magnum rolled Jane's limp form back in the ring and jumped the rail to escape the incoming Dod brothers. Mylandah shoved the referee away roughly, but she had not seen what took place on the outside. Instead of covering Jane, Mylandah lifted her into a DESTINY DRIVER that bounced them both two inches off the canvas. Stu pushed Mylandah away from Jane, checked her, and then called off the match for fear of her safety.

RESULT:
Walder d. Dod (Destiny Driver CRITICAL!) at 5:21
Shuji Yagami vs David Mercury
Mercury came out on fire in this bout, kicking Yagami away, then cyclone whipping him to the canvas several times. One whip was followed by a senton, and Mercury whipped Yagami to the ropes and spin kicked him right in the face on the return. Mercury then grabbed Yagami's arm and shoulder threw him, held on to the arm, pulled him up and shoulder threw him to the canvas again! A pair of middle kicks followed. Mercury rolled Yagami up in a cradle but only got a one count. Yagami reversed an irish whip and sent Mercury in, leapfrogged him when he came back, but Mercury then slid underneath and avoided Yagami's attempt at a satellite head scissors! Mercury rolled Yagami up from behind, but Yagami grabbed the ropes and broke the hold. Yagami then faked a kick at Mercury, who fell for it and caught the foot, running right into a back brain kick from Yagami! Yagami slammed Mercury down to the mat, then sat him up and drop kicked him in the back of the head. Mercury went right back to the shoulder throw combo, hitting two in a row again, trying to keep Yagami down. Mercury then missed a two-step kick, and Yagami threw him corner to corner several times. Mercury reversed one such whip and sent Yagami into the corner. Mercury quickly followed in, grabbed Yagami and swinging DDT'd him to the canvas!!
Swinging DDT!
Mercury went straight back to the shoulder throw, since it seemed to be working well. Yagami countered several grapple attempts into japanese leg roll clutches, but couldn't keep Mercury down for more than a one count. Mercury then missed another two-step kick and Yagami rammed him into the corner. Yagami then sat Mercury up on the top turnbuckle, slapped him in the face, and brought him off the an ICONOCLASM!!
ICONOCLASM!
Mercury kept on with the shoulder throw, but this time Yagami rolled through it to his feet! Mercury came in with a flying clothesline, but Yagami ducked it, hooked Mercury up and fisherman bustered him to the canvas!! A standing moonsault into a pin got a two count for Yagami, who followed with a water wheel drop and another moonsault for another two count. Mercury fired right back by lifting Yagami up and LYGER BOMBING him to the canvas!! Mercury scored a near fall! As he tried to follow, Yagami caught him up into another water wheel drop, then gave him another fisherman buster! Yagami grabbed him in a back grapple, but Mercury kangaroo kicked out of it! Yagami was up and dazed, so Mercury jumped up on his shoulders from behind and rolled forward into a victory roll! They ended up in the ropes. Yagami hooked Mercury's arms under him and tried to lift him for a powerbomb, but Mercury back dropped him over! A standing moonsault from Mercury got him another near fall! Yagami came firing back with a pair of middle kicks. Mercury jumped up for another victory roll, but Yagami countered it at the last second into a pin and scored a VERY close near fall!!
Counter!
Yagami pulled Mercury up for some kind of slam, but Mercury slipped out the back door and jumping back spin kicked Yagami between the shoulder blades! Mercury then hopped up to the top and came off with a STARSCREAMER, the 450 splash, that landed right on Yagami's back! Yagami then jumped for a hurricanrana, but Mercury countered and powerbombed him to the canvas for another near fall!! Mercury caught Yagami as he stood with the COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION, the jumping back spin kick combination, and then jumped to the top rope and MISSLE DROPKICKED Yagami! A cover got another near fall for Mercury as he began to wonder what it'd take to pull off the win. Yagami kicked Mercury, then lifted him for another slam but Mercury was out the back door again and schoolboy'd Yagami!! The referee counted 1---2-----3!! One hell of a light heavyweight match.
Roll-up for the win
RESULT:
Mercury d. Yagami (rollup - pinfall) at 14:08
Jack and Caleb Dod vs Paul Savage and Captain Justice
The Dod brothers came into this one ready to take out their aggression on their opponents. JD started off against Savage, slamming him to the canvas. Savage responded with a knife edge chop, to which JD responded with another hard slam. Savage came back with an open-hand chop, and JD gouged his eyes and slammed him out of the ring. JD pointed to his head, indicating he'd outsmarted Savage, as Savage rolled back inside. Savage immediately spin kicked JD into the corner! JD immediately ran to the corner and tagged in his brother Caleb. Savage took Caleb down with a cyclone whip, but then Caleb went to work with a pair of one-handed body slams and an elbow drop. A knife edge chop and open hand chop followed and Savage was knocked back into his own corner, where he tagged in Captain Justice. The JL then struck with a stuff powerbomb, sending Caleb down to the canvas hard!
JL Teamwork
CJ suplexed Caleb over and sent him rolling to the outside. Savage jumped off the apron and grabbed Caleb, but Caleb wound up and headbutted him to the floor! The brawl continued with Savage hitting a carry-style backdrop on Caleb, and Caleb coming back with a neck hanging tree, choking Savage! CJ landed a string of body punches leading to a king kong knee drop to the back of Caleb's head! Caleb quickly moved to the corner and tagged in JD. The Dods then showed their own teamwork, double suplexing CJ!
Dod Teamwork
JD gouged CJ's eyes, the shot in for a takedown attempt, but was blocked and reversed into a choke sleeper! JD fought his way free shortly thereafter, and CJ gave him a neckbreaker. CJ then sent JD to the ropes and caught him with a big tilt-a-whirl slam! A suplex attempt followed, but JD flipped out of it and tagged in Caleb. The Dods showed more teamwork, giving CJ a stuff powerbomb, Caleb following with a hanging neckbreaker! CJ went to his corner and tagged in Savage, the JL giving Caleb another stuff powerbomb! Caleb came back using his size to his advantage, twisting Savage's arm and ramming his shoulder into it several times. Caleb shrugged Savage off, then grabbed him up in another neck hanging tree! Savage kicked his way free, then set Caleb up and tried to powerbomb him. He couldn't lift his larger opponent, though, and Caleb back body dropped him over! Caleb whipped Savage across to the ropes, but Savage exploded into an ALPHA STRIKE spear when he came back! Savage then gave Caleb a Pinpoint Kick Fakeout, but it didn't drop the big man who respond with a giant kick!! A second Pinpoint Kick Fakeout took Caleb to the canvas, and Savage climbed to the top. He bowed his head in prayer, jumped... but MISSED the diving headbutt as Calab rolled away at the last second! Caleb quickly went to his corner and tagged in JD while Savage was holding his neck on the mat. JD stomped away at Savage, but Savage grabbed him up and gave him a fallaway slam! A Pinpoint Kick Fakoeout came next, and Savage gave the peace sign, signaling to his fans that he was OK. But JD went straight for the weak point, grabbing Savage and giving him a neckbreaker! Savage was favoring his neck heavily again after missing the diving headbutt, and JD slapped a hand to his throat and CHOKE SLAMMED him to the canvas with the HAND OF DOD!! JD was merciless, slamming Savage into the turnbuckle, then backing up and AVALANCHING him, whiplashing his neck! JD pointed to his temple again, then dropped and locked in the WRATH OF DOD on Savage!! JD wrenched back on Savage's neck, and with a scream Savage tapped the mat furiously!
Wrath of Dod!
RESULT:
The Dods d. The Justice League (Wrath of Dod CRITICAL! on Savage) at 13:53

JB : "Savage has a history of neck problems. I hope this isn't serious."

BH : "All neck injuries are serious."

JB : "Fans, we'll keep you updated as we recieve information."

Kirk Adams vs The Incredible Ohdie
Ohdie started out whipping Adams to the ropes, then to the opposite ropes, but when he attempted a move Adams ran him over. Adams continued with a slam, Ohdie firing back with a pair of cyclone whips and a pin which Adams kicked out of immediately. Adams caught Ohdie with a kitchen sink kneelift, flipping his opponent over to the mat. Adams pulled him up and took him to his shoulders, but Ohdie rolled through it and rolled Adams into a pin! Adams quickly recovered from his suprise and kicked out on one, then stomped Ohdie in the groin in retaliation. Ohdie came back and grabbed both of Adams' arms in a double armlock, putting pressure on his elbows. Adams tried to knee out of it, but Ohdie head butted him, then gave him a finger thrust to the thoat. Ohdie grabbed Adams' right arm and snapped it down over his shoulder, then dropped and put on a side arm hold, continuing to work the arm. Adams fought out and slammed Ohdie down, but Ohdie rammed him into the turnbuckle, cyclone whipped him down and went right back to the side arm hold. Adams finally managed to get something going with a body punch rush that knocked Ohdie's wind out briefly, allowing Adams a moment to try to stretch out his damaged arm. A headlock and two punches followed from Adams, and then a backslide which barely got a two count. Adams threw a drop kick at Ohdie then, but Ohdie stepped back out of it's range, then jumped on Adams with the side arm hold like a rapid dog when he landed. Adams finally started to utilize his superior size, powering up and out of the hold and slamming Ohdie's head into the turnbuckles several times. Adams then back out, ran in and gave Ohdie a JUMPING KNEE PAT against the buckles! Ohdie was crushed between them and Adams' knee with no give coming from either. Adams dropped a knee across Ohdie's back right afterwards, then an elbow across the neck. Adams whipped Ohdie across to the opposite corner, but the whip was reversed, Ohdie following in closely. As soon as Adams hit the buckles, Ohdie jumped up and over him, sat on the top turnbuckle, and gave Adams a SWING DDT!! A popular move tonight!
Swing DDT!
Adams desperately needed to slow the pace down if he was going to win this, and he knew it. He caught Ohdie off-guard after the DDT with a kick and then a piledriver, then locked Ohdie in an abdominal stretch. Ohdie wouldn't give, but Adams didn't release the hold for quite a while. When Ohdie finally escaped it and swung around behind Adams, Adams elbowed him a couple of times, then swung around and re-hooked the hold! Ohdie was definitely being worn down by the hold. Adams whipped Ohdie to the ropes and gave him a back body drop, then climbed the nearby turnbuckles. Adams then came flying off with a BODY PRESS!
Flying Body Splash!
Adams continued the assault, keeping Ohdie on the mat with another body punch rush and then locking on a camel clutch. Ohdie was seriously suffering from the slower pace, not being able to utilize his offense at all. Adams pile drived him down again and stopped for a breather. Ohdie grabbed him in a headlock, but then winced as his side gave, and Adams took the chance to back suplex Ohdie out of the headlock! Adams floated over for the cover, gaining a NEAR FALL!! Ohdie must've realized the desperate situation he was in, as he grabbed Adams' arm and snapped it over his shoulder again! Then, grabbing the back of his head, Ohdie gave him a face crusher to the canvas! Ohdie jumped up on Adams' shoulders for some move, but Adams grabbed him and SAMOAN DROPPED him to the canvas! Ohdie was hurt by that one, and Adams quickly followed with a release german suplex! Adams backed Ohdie into the ropes, but his arm gave out as he was trying to whip Ohdie across and Ohdie reversed it. Ohdie hit the opposite ropes and came back with a SPINNING HEEL KICK right to Adams' face! Ohdie measured him, waiting for him to stand, and when he did Ohdie ran in for another move, but Adams grabbed him up and SIDEWALK SLAMMED him to the canvas! Neither man could gain a serious advantage now. Ohdie slipped around behind Adams, head butted him, then pulled his head back and REVERSE DDT'D him to the canvas! But he was unable to follow-up, as Adams gave him a back body drop when both men came to their feet. Adams used the samoan drop again, but was unable to follow, as Ohdie whipped him to the ropes and flipped him down with a cyclone whip on the return. Ohdie then jumped up and STOMPED Adams in the chest with both feet!! Adams rolled to the outside, coughing and trying to catch his breath. No such luck: Ohdie hit the opposite ropes, ran towards Adams, jumped up on the top rope itself and came flying off with a suidice plancha!! Both men crashed into the guardrail!!
Suicide Dive!
Ohdie rolled to his knees, favoring his side which still hadn't recovered from the earlier abdominal stretch. He double foot stomped Adams again, this time on the floor, then punched him in the groin before he noticed the referee and went back in the ring. Adams, having been severely beat up in the last minute, barely beat the count back to the ring. He did manage the next offensive move, pulling out another samoan drop probably more out of instinct than anything else. A cover got only a near fall! Adams then threw whatever he had left into two straight CYBER BLOW combinations, punching Ohdie around the ring like a heavybag. Adams followed with a fist drop and a third pile driver, then rolled Ohdie up for the cover. It might have been a three, but Ohdie grabbed the bottom rope and the hold was broken! Ohdie then dropped to his knees and punched Adams in the groin once again, keeping him from following-up. Ohdie sent Adams to the ropes and caught him with REBOUND HURRICANRANA, which Adams escaped, then another Hurrcanrana, which Adams kicked out of, and then a la magistral cradle which scored a near fall!! With Adams totally dizzy, Ohdie took the chance and SNAPPED his arm down over the shoulder again, causing Adams to fall to the mat holding it. Ohdie then hit the ropes a RUNNING DOUBLE FOOT STOMPED Adams, bouncing off of his chest like a trampoline! Ohdie pulled him up and nailed his finisher, THE EXPLOHDIE!!
EXPLOHDIE!!
Both men were spent at this point. Ohdie still favored his side at times and Adams was dragging his right arm slightly. Adams fired back at Ohdie with punches from his knees, then finished the slowest Cyber Blow in history as he stood up. Adams locked a camel clutch back on Ohdie for a minute or two, but Ohdie wouldn't give in. Adams eventually released the hold himself and whipped Ohdie across, only to have Ohdie slide between his legs and chop him when he turned around! Adams tried to spear Ohdie and missed, tumbling between the ropes and out to the floor. Ohdie pointed to the sky, then climbed to the top turnbuckle. When Adams recovered, Ohdie came flying off the top with a TOP ROPE DROPKICK TO THE OUTSIDE!!! Again both men tumbled into the guardrail as the fans began to chant for Ohdie!
Top Rope Dropkick!
Adams made it to the ring first, but both men were in sorry shape. Ohdie missed a wheel kick on his return and Adams missed a spear shortly afterwards. Ohdie punched Adams in the groin again, then sent him to the ropes. Ohdie caught him with another REBOUND HURRACANRANA on the return, but only scored a near fall! Ohdie countered an Adams back grapple into an arm drag, then pulled Adams up and gave him a BACK DROP HOLD!! The pin was counted: 1----2----- and Adams grabbed the bottom rope with one hand! Undaunted, Ohdie whipped Adams into the corner and head butted him several times, dropping him to the canvas. Ohdie then climbed back to the top and came off with a MOONSAULT, crushing Adams to the mat!!
Moonsault!
All of these high impact moves were further aggrivating the injury to Ohdie's side that Adams had started with the abdominal stretch. Adams power Ohdie up and crashed him down with another samoan drop, further punishing Ohdie's torso. A face crusher followed that, but Ohdie countered the next hold into a drop toe hold and gave Adams the finger as he lay on the mat. Ohdie was heavily favoring his side at his point, but somehow managed to back drop out of an Adams piledriver attempt. It cost him, though, as he fell to one knee holding his right side. Adams smelled blood and samoan dropped Ohdie AGAIN, causing even more damage. Ohdie tried to fire back with something, but Adams swung around it and locked on the abdominal stretch again! This was more than Ohdie could take. He reached for the nearby rope, but Adams yanked back on the hold, pulling him out of range. Ohdie had no choice but to submit as he could no longer breathe without serious pain!
Abdominal Stretch
RESULT:
Adams d. Ohdie (Abdonimal stretch - submission) at 24:38
Hannibal vs Bane
Bane was very reluctant to get this match underway. When he finally did get in the ring, he started off with a chop, which Hannibal responded to with a slam and an arm drag. Hannibal then dropped and punched Bane a few times before slamming him again, this time to the outside. Hannibal followed. Bane attempted to grab a weapon to help his cause but was stopped by Hannibal, so he instead slammed Hannibal to the floor and dropped an elbow on him. Back in the ring, a cyclone whip and elbow drop from Bane were met with a slam and a kitchen sink kneelift from Hannibal, the kneelift causing Bane to lay on the mat an unusually long amount of time trying to catch his breath. Hannibal caught Bane with a jumping suplex and an inverted atmoic drop next, following up with more pounding punches on the mat. Bane escaped temporarily with a drop toe hold, but Hannibal was all over him with the punches every time he hit the mat. After one such exchange, Bane came up bleeding! His face was splattered with blood, but you couldn't really tell where it came from. Hannibal followed with another inverted atomic drop. Bane managed to slip out the back door and roll Hannibal up, but only scored a one count. Hannibal scooped Bane up and drove him down with an H-DRILLER, then came off the second turnbuckle with a Bret Hart-style elbow drop, nailing two specialties in a row!
A Lethal Combo
Bane came back with a rush of five chops and briefly wrapped on a bow & arrow backbreaker, but he contiued to eat the inverted atomic drops which were the bread & butter of Hannibal's attack. A cover got a near fall for Hannibal, who then threw Bane over in a german suplex which Bane barely escaped from in time. Hannibal then went straight for Bane's ear and tried to bite it off! Bane somehow managed to shove him away, and when Hannibal rushed back in Bane chopped him down to the canvas with one blow! Hannibal stood back up quickly right into a spin-once dropkick from Bane. Hannibal hooked Bane up for a powerbomb of some type, but Bane reversed it into a frankenstiener! The pin only scored a one count. Bane slammed Hannibal down and tried to keep him there by using a stretch muffler on his right knee, but Hannibal fought out and up quickly. A whip to the ropes caught Bane with a back body drop, and then Hannibal raised his hand, signaling the end with the old H-Pac sign. Soon after he tackled Bane to the canvas and the TENDERIZER was on!! Bane covered his head and tried to ward off the blows as best he could. Hannibal broke the hold on the referee's five count and the damage was definitely done.
Don't turn your back/Tenderizer!
Another inverted atomic drop and another H-Driller followed the Tenderizer. Bane attempted to fight back with a couple of cyclone whips and an armbar/headscissor combo, but Hannibal was quickly out of the hold. Bane did manage to suprise Hannibal and briefly lock him in the Peppermint Twist, but it was too little too late. Bane whipped Hannibal to the ropes, shot him into the air and caught him with the mexican ace crusher, but even when he followed with a roll-up using a double handfull of tights he only scored a flat two count. Hannibal was off-balance, and Bane struck with a double-arm suplex, then sprung off the middle turnbuckle with a moonsault! The cover was in the ropes. The cover brought Hannibal back to his senses. An H-Driller, another application of the Tenderizer, and a german suplex in rapid succession put Bane away for good to end the beating.
German suplex for the win
RESULT:
Hannibal d. Bane (German suplex - pinfall) at 16:48
MAIN EVENT PART 1
"Mr. Massacre" Kyle Magnum vs Bo Abobo vs Jack Furlong vs Vermin
The four-way dance began with Bo charging at Furlong and Vermin colliding with Magnum to an explosion from the crowd. The four brawled back and forth for the first few minutes of the match, no one having a definite advantage. Bo busted out the first big moves, snap suplexing and then DDT'ing Vermin to the mat. Vermin was handing out back brain lariats to everyone, while Magnum was handing out leg drops the same way. Furlong and Magnum teamed up to take Bo down with a double-team backdrop. Magnum then went after Vermin and Furlong dropped and pounded Bo with his fists. Magnum roared with rage and lifted the 500 pound Vermin with a spinning doctor bomb!! An amazing show of power, but Vermin grabbed the rope and was out quickly. Magnum then slapped a hand to his throat, and to the disbelief of the crowd, CHOKE SLAMMED his arch rival to the mat!!
CHOKE SLAM!
Magnum scored a two count on a pin immediately following. Furlong pounded Bo to the mat in the corner with a hard lariat as Magnum upended Vermin and reverse tombstone piledrived him!! Furlong slammed Bo into the corner, then sat him on the top turnbuckle. As Magnum and Vermin looked on, Furlong BACK DROPPED Bo from the top turnbuckle!!
Top rope back drop!
All four men regained their feet shortly. Bo managed to lift Vermin up and drive him to the mat with a Steiner Screwdriver! Vermin was taking the most punishment of everyone so far. Bo took too long recovering from lifting Vermin and Furlong suprised him, scooping him up and giving him a SHOULDERBREAKER! Furlong scored a two count on Vermin while Bo front suplexed Magnum across the ring! Bo grabbed Furlong as soon as he was up from the pin and CAPTURE SUPLEXED him hard to the mat, then hauled him back to his feet and gave him the DOUBLE GERMAN BO-PLEX!! Vermin slammed Magnum to the canvas and strangled him, and Furlong fired back at Bo with a jumping piledriver. Furlong kicked Vermin off of Magnum, and then we saw the unthinkable: I'll let the picture speak for itself.
WTF?!
As they say, anything is possible in a battle royal. Magnum used the spinning doctor bomb on Bo, but Furlong kicked him in the head and knocked him off. Vermin slammed Furlong down moments later and Bo locked on the kata-hajime! Magnum broke up the move before any real damage could be inflicted. Bo got up and punched Magnum, but Furlong grabbed him from behind, lifted him up and dropped him on his neck with the BACK DROP DRIVER, his finisher! But Vermin was waiting. Too slow to break up the move, he waited for Furlong to regain his feet and then, when he turned, gave him the HAMMER OF HATE!! Furlong spun in a complete flip!!
Back Drop Driver/Hammer of Hate!
Furlong was slow getting up, but when he did, he SPEARED Vermin to the canvas, showing no fear! Meanwhile, Magnum had grabbed the injured Bo, hauled him up and brought him crashing down with the GRAVEDIGGER!! Bo would probably have been gone, but Vermin was quick to kick Magnum in the face and break up the pin. Vermin lifted Magnum over his head moments later and snapped his back over his knee with a one-handed backbreaker! Furlong pitched Vermin over the top to the floor, then grabbed Bo and gave him a northern lights suplex! The referee didn't see the pinfall as he was counting Vermin out on the floor. Vermin intentionally waited on the floor until Bo kicked out of the pin before re-entering the ring. The Sickos then simultaneously hooked their opponents up and destroyed them: Bo gave Magnum a steiner screwdriver and Vermin gave Furlong the 187 POWERBOMB!! Furlong bounced off the mat and lay still!
A Kodak Moment
Vermin then turned on Bo, picking him up, taking two steps and FIRE THUNDER drivering him to the mat! Furlong recovered from the powerbomb enough to give Magnum a shoulderbreaker. Vermin grabbed Bo around the waist from behind and slammed him face-first into the mat with a reverse powerbomb. Bo got away from Vermin long enough to catch Magnum with a high-speed full nelson suplex, but then Vermin grabbed him by the neck and slammed him face-down with a AMAZE IMPACT!! Furlong grabbed Vermin up and gave him a shoulderbreaker, then kicked him in the groin for good measure. Bo tossed Magnum from the ring, and as Vermin turned to swing at Bo, Furlong jumped up and DROP KICKED him in the back, sending him sprawling into Bo, who grabbed him up and gave him a T-BONE BO PLEX! The brawling continued for another minute or two. Bo got tossed from the ring and Magnum grabbed Furlong in a canadian backbreaker. Vermin decked him to the mat to break it up. Bo climbed on the top turnbuckle and came off with a MOONSAULT, crushing Magnum to the mat! Bo then tossed Furlong from the ring and gave both Magnum AND Vermin capture suplexes! Furlong grabbed Bo away from attempting to pin Magnum and jumping piledrived him down, and then Vermin hooked Magnum up and delivered the 187 powerbomb to him! Furlong covered Bo and Vermin covered Magnum, but the referee only counted the Furlong cover, which Bo was out of on two. Vermin was taking one of the worst beatings of his carear in this match, as Magnum came right back at him with a backbreaker, then slammed him to the canvas. Magnum lifted Vermin into a canadian backbreaker. Bo attempted to break it up, but Furlong grabbed him from behind and gave him a SECOND back drop driver!! Bo was knocked just about out by the move, and Furlong covered him a moment later. Vermin refused to give up to the backbreaker, and could not free Bo from Furlong's pin. Bo was eliminated!!

Bo Abobo eliminated by Jack Furlong via pinfall at 15:28


Second Shitsack Slammer
After Bo left, Vermin went crazy. He drove Magnum down with a fire thunder, slammed Furlong face-first into the canvas with the amaze impact, hammered Magnum back down to the canvas and then gave him another press slam backbreaker! Vermin grabbed Furlong from behind and gave him a sick looking release backdrop. But Magnum was not out yet, either - when Vermin stood up from the back drop, Magnum lifted him high and brought him crashing down on his head with the CALM BEFORE THE STORM steiner screwdriver!! Furlong repaid Vermin for the back drop moments later by hooking Vermin up and folding him in half with an ORIGINAL BACKDROP, and followed that with a diving fist drop off the top rope that hit Vermin right in the spine! Magnum followed this by pulling Vermin up in a full nelson and slamming him down, but Furlong speared Magnum down as soon as the move was complete! Furlong tossed Magnum into the corner, then sat him on the top turnbuckle. He hooked him for a suplex, but then climbed all the way up and took him over with a TOP ROPE SUPERPLEX!!
Top rope superplex!
Vermin showed his ability to take a beating by coming back and giving the hurt Magnum a back drop like he did Furlong earlier. Furlong came in to attack, but Vermin just grabbed him by the arm and chest and tossed him across the ring!! Furlong and Magnum then descended on Vermin an annhilated him: Magnum choke slammed him again, followed by a full nelson slam, followed by ANOTHER CHOKE SLAM, and then as Magnum lifted Vermin up, Furlong grabbed him from behind, somehow lifted the giant up and brought all five hundred pounds of him down on his neck with the BACK DROP DRIVER!!! The crowd was in shock - Vermin was actually out on the mat, unmoving.
The worst beating of Vermin's carear!
With Vermin laid out, Furlong turned and gave Magnum a TRASH COMPACTOR capture suplex! Furlong continued the attack with a shoulderbreaker, the a pounding lariat that knocked Magnum to the canvas. Furlong grabbed Magnum from behind, but Magnum elbowed him off and clotheslined him down. Magnum raised both hands in victory, but he noticed Vermin starting to push himself up on the canvas. He didn't see Jack Dod sliding into the ring behind him!! JD tapped the chair he was carrying on the mat twice to get Magnum's attention. When Magnum turned, JD SLAMMED the chair over his head!! The shot didn't drop Magnum, but stunned him, so JD wound up and SLAMMED it over his head so hard the seat popped out of the chair and went flying to the outside! Magnum was knocked to one knee. JD looked at the frame of the chair in suprise, but then he saw Vermin standing up and frothing at the mouth. JD beat a hasty retreat as Vermin grabbed Magnum, hauled him up, then screamed and 187 POWERBOMBED him to the canvas hard enough to knock HIMSELF down!! After the punishment of the match, the chairshots, and the 187, Magnum was knocked totally out cold!!

Kyle Magnum eliminated by Vermin via knockout at 22:49


187 Powerbomb!
Furlong tackled Vermin down from behind and pounded him in the face with punches. Vermin attempted a back grapple, but Furlong reversed it into a russian leg sweep. Both men came to their feet, both exhausted and hurting. Furlong fired a huge right hook at Vermin, knocking him backwards. Vermin responded with a big boot, kicking Furlong in the face and knocking him back into the ropes. Furlong used the momentum to spring forward and put everything he had left into one more huge punch that knocked Vermin to one knee... but then Vermin, screaming, surged forward and up with a HAMMER OF HATE that knocked Furlong in another backflip!! You could see one of Furlong's boots laying on the mat next to Vermin's head, the lariat and knocked it right off his foot. Vermin draped his right arm over Furlong and the referee counted: 1----2------3!
Furlong is hammered literally out of his boots!
RESULT:
Winner is Vermin (Hammer of Hate - pinfall on Furlong) at 25:14

(Magnum was just starting to stir on the mat as the fall was counted. Magnum rolled out of the ring to the floor and Vermin eventually sat up against the ropes. When no one had stood after a full minute, EMT's came out to the ring, but Vermin waved them away and they left. Eventually all three men left without assistance, though EFW security had to keep Vermin and Magnum seperated)

BH : "That was one hell of a brutal match, I can't believe any of them are walking away!"

JB : "I agree, Buck, that was amazing. I think Jack Dod might have signed his death warrent in there."

BH : "Yeah, he'd better be on the first plane out of here."

JB : "Well, the second half of our double main event is next, and we're about ready to find out who this mystery partner is going to be."

(The participants are introduced. First, the Pantheon as a group, and then the members of Guzman's team individually. The crowd goes nuts for Nomad in his Massacre re-debut. Then, when everyone is in the ring, "Legend" hits the air! Nomad cocks and eyebrow towards the entryway as 'The ICON' Rick Idol makes his entrance! He walks to the ring an ignores his partners totally. Alexander Atlas stands in his corner, unmoved, and though he makes to be the one to start out his match, Death's Head waves him into the corner and beckons Guzman to center ring. Guzman, unafraid, answers the challenge)

MAIN EVENT PART 2
The Pantheon vs Manuel Guzman, Bret Stillman, Nomad and "The ICON" Rick Idol
Guzman started out hitting a pair of drop toe holds on the overeager DH. DH fired back with a cyclone whip and by dropping a knee hard into Guzman's head. Guzman landed a rolling sole butt, but it barely staggered DH backwards. DH grabbed Guzman, lifted him up for a vertical suplex and held him there for three or four seconds before dropping him down! Guzman tagged Stillman in, but the two were unable to use any teamwork against DH. Stillman wrapped on an abdominal stretch, but it didn't last long against his larger opponent. Stillman used a body slam and followed with a knee drop, but that only seemed to anger DH who responded with a pounding lariat that jarred Stillman badly. DH locked in a boston crab, but Stillman was close enough to the ropes to escape. Stillman slammed DH into the corner and rammed a shoulder into his torso several times, and that DH to the corner for the tag - to ONSLAUGHT. Stillman recoiled a few steps when the monster entered the ring, and then bounced hard off the mat when the Warhounds STUFF POWERBOMBED him!
Warhound team tactics
Stillman escaped the 'hounds and tagged in Nomad, making the crowd go wild. Onslaught charged straight ahead, throwing both Stillman and Nomad to the mat when they attempted to double team him. Nomad tried a flying mare on Onslaught, only to have Onslaught pound him over the head and back four times in rapid succession, then throw him back into the corner towards Idol. Onslaught pointed at Idol, who betrayed no emotion. Nomad rubbed his jaw, then shrugged and tagged in Idol. Idol immediately went for a piledriver or powerbomb which Onslaught easily back dropped him out of. Idol got back up and tried to slam Onslaught, only to recieve a hammer blow across the back in counter. Onslaught roared in Idol's face at his failed attempts at offense... so Idol LEGEND KILLER'd him right in the jaw, knocking the monster clean off his feet!! Onslaught lay at his feet, but Idol's face betrayed no emotion, not even his usual anger.
Legend Killer!
Onslaught rolled out of Idol's way and went to the corner to tag. Atlas' eyes were burning a hole through Idol, but Onslaught tagged in Condo, and the two Pantheon members SANDWHICH CLOTHESLINED Idol! Condo kept the attack on with a DDT, and when Idol came close enough Nomad tagged himself into the match. Idol's head quickly jerked to look at him, but instead of doing anything, he stepped through the ropes to the apron. Nomad slammed Condo and then gave him a face crusher from behind, driving him into the canvas. Then, for the first time, Alexander Atlas held out his hand on the apron. Condo saw the look on his face and tagged him in. Nomad beckoned him on. Atlas strode into the ring at Nomad and pounded him to the canvas with a lariat! Nomad was up quickly and swung around behind Atlas, only for Atlas to counter it with an overhead kick! Nomad got to his corner and tagged in Stillman, but Atlas was on him. Atlas grabbed him around the waist and muscled the struggling Nomad up into an ATLAS SHRUGGED!!
Atlas Shrugged!
Nomad was slow getting up. Stillman missed a clothesline attempt, and Atlas grabbed him as easily as he would a child and pressed him into the air, getting in two or three reps before dropping him on his face. Atlas locked in a reverse figure-four leglock after that. Guzman and Nomad were in quickly to break the hold. Atlas kicked Guzman to the mat, threw Nomad back out of the ring, then spinning chopped Stillman back to the canvas! Atlas pulled him up, then took three steps and yakuza kicked him in the back of the head! Atlas covered Stillman then, which drew in the rest of his team. Atlas jumped up from the mat, kicked Nomad and Idol away, then spinning chopped Guzman. Atlas then climbed to the top turnbuckle and hit the stunned Stillman with a flying yakuza kick!! Atlas was taking on the other team single-handed and winning!
Flying Yakuza Kick!
Atlas gave Stillman a hanging knee breaker, then dumped him in his corner and let him make the tag. Stillman tagged in Guzman, who Atlas jumped on and slammed to the canvas. Atlas then climbed to the top and crushed Guzman under a somersault senton! Atlas whipped Guzman to the ropes, hit the opposite ropes and threw a yakuza kick at him, but Guzman ducked the move! When Atlas turned, Guzman locked up with him, but Atlas simply lifted him upside down and crushed him with another ATLAS SHRUGGED!! Guzman lay prone on the mat and Atlas stood in the ring, waiting for the next man to come in and fight. Guzman then gave Atlas what he was waiting for and tagged in Idol! Idol came in, but Atlas front suplexed him into the Pantheon's corner! Atlas attempted to follow up with a rear waistlock only to have Idol kick backwards and hit him in the groin. Idol followed with a snap suplex, getting the first offense in against Atlas in over six minutes. Potterdamn yelled to Death's Head to tag himself in, and when Atlas got close enough he did just that. Idol immediately dropped and punched DH in the groin as he was getting in the ring. Atlas grabbed Idol from behind on the apron, holding his arms. Idol escaped, knocking Atlas to the floor, but the distraction was enough to give DH a chance to slam Idol down and lock on a sleeper. Idol struggled out and hit DH in the groin again, but instead of going down, DH shrugged off the hit, hooked his leg over Idol's head and the FALL OF THE AXE slammed his head into the canvas!
Fall of the Axe
Idol refused to attempt the tag, even though DH was driving knee after knee into him while he was on the canvas. Idol snap suplexed him over and locked on a standing scorion deathlock, but Onslaught came in and clotheslined him out of it from the blind side! Idol's team came in but the referee ordered them out, and during the confusion DH tagged in Condo. Condo whipped Idol into his own corner, but Idol REVERSE PILEDRIVED him when he tried to follow-up! Nomad then reached in and tagged himself in again! Nomad hooked Condo up and delivered a northen lights bomb, driving his head down. He tried to follow but Condo reversed his rear waistlock into a STONE COLD KILLER!! Condo then went to the corner and tagged in Onslaught. Onslaught immediately ran in and STONEWALLED Nomad, crushing him to the canvas, then waited for him to stand and did it AGAIN!
Two Stonewalls in a row!
Onslaught rammed Nomad into the corner to continue the punishment, but Nomad reversed it and slammed Onslaught in instead! Nomad then ran out to center ring and ran back to the corner nailing a zero-sen kick on the monster as he lay against the corner... but Onslaught appeared unaffected! Grabbing Nomad up, Onslaught gave him a BACKBREAKER, then lifted him onto his shoulder and CHOKE SLAMMED him down with a ruby frosion! Nomad rolled into his corner and tagged in Stillman, who came in and low dropkicked Onslaught's knee out from under him. Stillman grabbed the big man from behind, lifted him up and gave him a ATOMIC KNEE CRUSHER!! This hurt Stillman as well, as his leg was rather small compared to Onslaught's. He tried to continue the offense, but Onslaught just kicked him away like a soccer ball. One ruby frosion later and Stillman was in the corner tagging Idol back in! Idol came in, wound up and punched Onslaught hard in the gut, knocking his wind out! Then he lifted Onslaught up onto his shoulder, flipped the huge man over and gave him a yokosuka cutter, the GOLDEN FROSION!! While Idol was down from the exertion of lifting him, Onslaught went to his corner and tagged in Atlas. Both teams rushed the ring at this point, but the Pantheon continued it's domination, throwing their opponents around and out of the way. Death's Head countered Idol into an ace crusher and Atlas immediately covered him. Atlas pinned Idol for the three, leaving Guzman's team brusied, battered and soundly beaten.
Domination's End
RESULT:
The Pantheon d. Guzman, Nomad, Stillman & Idol (Atlas pinfall on Idol) at 22:32

JB : "Alexander Atlas was a one-man army in there, he practically beat them by himself! What's gotten into him?"

BH : "The power of Zeus?"

JB : "I don't know about that, but I'd sure like to see how he'd do against Idol or Nomad without partners! Folks, we're out of time, for Buck Hammerstien and the EFW Massacre crew, this is JB saying GOODNIGHT!!"
